This French carved agate egg locket is crafted in 18k yellow gold and weighs a substantial 18.7 grams. The smooth agate form is carefully carved and enclosed in warm gold, creating a quiet contrast between surface softness and structural weight.
Measuring approximately 38 by 31 millimeters excluding the bail, the scale is deliberate and balanced, designed to feel significant without excess. The form references traditional egg lockets, objects long associated with symbolism, continuity, and personal meaning rather than display.
Marked with a cartouche maker’s mark and French gold marks, the construction reflects a disciplined approach to craftsmanship, where proportion and intention guide the design. This is a piece meant to be worn close, valued for substance and history rather than embellishment.
