DATE: Victorian, c.1880

An utterly gorgeous Victorian locket with a robin perched on a broken holly branch, hand chased in the aesthetic style. Somewhat unusually, it's rectangular in shape with scalloped edges and applied rose gold corner details. I know it's a few months to Christmas, but I also know there are those of you out there who like to get the presents boxed off early... and this one's not going to stick around until December...
