Victorian enamel pansy locket

Victorian enamel pansy locket in rose gold 9 karats (385). This large locket is decorated with enamels representing a hand with a white and blue sleeve, holding between its fingers an pansy flower. The enamelled decoration is surrounded by a chased and picté decoration. The pendant opens into a compartment which may contain a sentimental item, a photograph or a lock of hair. The reverse side of the jewel chiseled. It’s an antique sentimental medallion, expressing tender thoughts towards the person whose memory or portrait is kept inside.
