I love how you did the clasp, so much more functional than the side-by-side a lot of people do with lockets such as this.

Thank You !
I like the possibility to put small precious things into them
and itΒ΄s an opportunity for the owner to personalize the jewelry piece.

I'm with Elly on the lock and bail. I haven't seen anything like that before.

So smooth and seemingly simple. The combination of lock and bail is ingenious!

Like the old pill containers that were popular around Victorian times. Very beautiful piece.

Years ago,short after the iron curtain was fallen,
it was quite easy to purchase.
Tons of it were still dug up ,neatly conservated
in the permafrost bottoms of northern Siberia,
frozen since Ice Age.
Nowadays the Chinese bought it up all for their
ivory carving indutries.
Now itΒ΄s not easy to obtain anymore and
almost inaffordable.

i never knew something like that even existed! that sounds like a story from a fairytale. little stories behind the pieces is what really gives an item its value i believe.
