Story
Lockets are the most personal of all the items of sentimental jewelry. Even the manner in which they are worn connotes an intimacy between the wearer and memory or photo held within the piece.
From the Victorian years, this silver double box locket bears an engraved likeness of the head and face of a terrier dog. Pert little ears, inviting eyes and an engaging beard draw the viewer to the precious pup.
Fine engraving of details, such as the bow show the transition of dogs (and cats) from working animals to beloved inhabitants of the household.
An intricate black enamel border surrounds the pup who is set against a textured background. The back or reverse of the hinged oval locket boasts a smooth finish just waiting for a monogram.
