Beautiful antique 15 carat gold hinged locket with a 1 carat border of rubies. The face of the locket is studded with 14 diamonds - 1.2 carats, a mixture of cushion cuts, old cuts and transitional cuts, flush set into star settings and engraved with leaves.
 
The locket opens to reveal a glass covered section for photographs
 
Would look stunning hanging on a gold Albert chain.
