Jewel of the day: Vintage Paris Jewelry Marcasite Locket/Vinaigrette

Lockets were very popular during the Victorian era, and are still a beloved jewelry item that can be personalized. This one from Vintage Paris Jewelry may have also been used as a vinaigrette, given the pierced design. These would hold a piece of scented cloth, and were a way of avoiding or muting the sometimes noxious smells of the era.

This is priced at USD$140.
