Antique Prayer Seed & Carnelian Locket in 15K Gold

Antique Prayer Seed & Carnelian Locket in 15K Gold

$900.00Price
Here is a rare and wonderful Circa 1830s-1850s antique locket made from a Rudraksha Prayer Seed, Carnelian, and 15K Gold. This beautiful little piece of antique sentimental jewelry opens to reveal a compartment, likely for a photo or lock of hair. The carnelian back is a smooth, deep red color, and the nut has a lovely organic texture that contrasts with the warm Gold. The gold has hand-chased details and a beautiful vine pattern. This is a rare example of sentimental jewelry. There is a small age-related crack in the side of the seed measuring approx 4mm. However, it is secure in its setting. This piece of jewelry has been well cared for and is ready for its next custodian. This little token would make an excellent addition to any collection or display.

CONDITION
