A beautiful antique 9ct gold mounted open-face glass locket, dating to the Edwardian era. The piece features an ingenious hinged clasp design integrated into the top mount; when unlatched, it allows the gold frame to separate so that the two glass panels can be removed, ready to hold cherished photographs or keepsakes.
