A beautiful 'Turn Of The Century' rose gold locket set with diamonds and an emerald.

The rear side of the locket is embellished with raised applied initials 'HMK' likely from the original owner. The locket opens to reveal two compartments for photos or hair, with one retaining its original glazed insert.
