Antique Lady in the Moon Locket

era: c.1900

truly one of a kind gold-fill oval locket with classic Victorian rhinestone-studded crescent moon and star motif, added to at a later date with a finely engraved woman in profile; using the star as her eye and the moon as her hair. the interior with two compartments for storing photos or other keepsakes. retains one removeable frame, currently occupied by a black and white image of (what must have been) a beloved cat. rhinestones catch more light than photos show. unmarked.

we, mcgee antique and vintage lockets are sourced from a variety of decades. Most are 1890-1950 and were made in Rhode Island or Massachusetts (where much of the costume jewelry from the early-mid 20th century in the US was made!). Some styles and motifs persisted through many decades.  All pieces are selected for their unique, vintage beauty and wearability.
