More info : In Europe, black cats are believed to bring bad luck, but this is not the case worldwide. Among our neighbors in Great Britain, particularly in maritime areas, black cats are seen as good luck charms for sailors and their families. A black cat on board a ship was believed to protect against shipwreck. In Japan, they are considered a protector against evil spirits and a symbol of prosperity.

Victorian French locket pendant in silver plated. An enamelled ceramic plate adorns the center of the pendant. It represents a woman in traditional regional costume, with her head bowed and her hands crossed, in front of the village church. Her traditional costume let us think that the woman is from Alsace, East of France, because of the large black bow which was worn here at this period.
Red glass stones surround the figure in a set of filigree. At the back, the locket opens to hide a lock of hair or a photograph of the loved one.
Height: 4.3 cm
Width: 3.1 cm
Condition: slight lack of the enamel on the left side of the ceramic.
