Much of the Aesthetic and Victorian periods' silver pieces of jewelry revolve around themes taken from the natural world. Birds, insects, water scenes and the like were used as an inspiration for their designs.

Often tropical climes seemed to pique their interest with swaying palm trees and exotic birds gracing their creations. Putting oneself in their shoes, and in the climate of the British Isles where many pieces originated, it is easy to see why this imagery was chosen from such idyllic and temperate spots.

This oval two-photo locket, a golden palm tree and several more in the foreground and rise rest amidst grass. Above, a swallow soars aloft while a wading flamingo bird appears to consider the swallow's ease of flight. A mountainous isle is engraved in the background on the horizon.

The two birds are appliques of rose gold over silver. The grass and one palm tree-top are decorated in yellow gold over silver.

Scalloped and indented, the edge is striking and bold. The interior has two original frames and one original glass with one plastic new insert to hold your photographs or precious other mementos.
