Victorian Large 10kt Onyx + Seed Pearl Cross Locket Pendant

A beautiful onyx and pearl locket pendant from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! This impressive piece is carved from a solid piece of onyx and quite substantial in size.

Delicate natural seed pearls line the surface of the cross, adding a sentimental appeal, and found on the reverse side of the piece is a glass window set within a 10kt rose gold frame. The glass face reveals the original hair memoriam, however, this could easily be removed and replaced if desired. The piece hangs from a large fluted rose gold bail at the top, and would look wonderful paired with a complimentary chain. A fantastic Victorian locket, it would make a wonderful keepsake piece!
