Etruscan revival pieces were crafted in the mid 1800s when ancient Etruscan jewellery was unearthed in tombs outside of Rome beginning a fascination with the style and giving birth to these beautiful pieces which were fashioned using the same ancient techniques.
The locket features a decorative diagonal strip along the front displaying wonderful chased workmanship with intricate patterning.
It is complete with rims and windows within so two cherished photographs can be inserted and kept dear.
