More about lockets
Lockets have long been an important piece of jewellery, enabling someone to hold potraits, photos, momentos of loved ones close. In the Victorian era they were especially popular and were usually very well made. We at Anadej are always surprised and delighted about how well antique jewellery really stands the test of time. It often has complex mechanical engineering in place that is still as good today as it always was. All done with nothing like todays tools.
