Details:  An interesting late Victorian double sided locket in 14k gold. One side features a kaleidoscope mosaic of hard stone agate marquetry in creamy neutral colors with accents of green. The mosaic is haloed by a frame of vibrant rose cut Bohemian garnets. The other side is adorned with a large striped agate in rich dark brown with white stripes. On this side the garnet's bezels becomes a curvy frame for the striped agate. The locket is functioning and closes with a secure click. This is a very collectable and unusual piece.

Measurements: The locket is about 1.5" tall (including the bale) and 1.25" wide.

Origin: Mid-European, c. 1890's.
