Just take in this superb gold antique locket arrayed with sculptural, realistic appliqued (raised) roses.
One in full bloom, one budding forth, the front is adorned in this most symbolic of flowers, along with their distinctive leaves and stem.
The patina (darker areas) to the crevices of the 14k yellow gold complement the energetic design.
On the reverse, a monogram of fancy script letters read, "EIH"; so lyrical it looks like a design element.
Open the locket with a near-invisible fingernail slit, and both sides may secure two photos, locks of hair, fur, or other thin tokenor memento.
