Large, chunky and very tactile rock crystal and high carat gold locket, with its domed crystal that feels so wonderful.
'Pools of light' were so named because when worn in natural light the spherical crystals refract the light so that they seem to glow like little magical orbs of water or drops of light against the skin of the wearer. 
 
The gold setting is really well made, so much so that it almost looks as if there is no join and it won't open, but it does, so you can add a photo or a dried flower (anything flat)
