Even in the years before the turn of the last century, the great cities of the world were connected - ideologically and politically, quite literally through travel routes, but also fashionably. This locket, which was probably made in Germany, could also have been worn by a wealthy lady in England, Austria or, in our case, the Russian Empire: Because according to the hallmark, the locket was exported in the years after 1908 to the Latvian capital of Riga, which was part of the Russian Empire at the time and a center of Art Nouveau. The locket is designed as a simple oval made of 14-karat gold, which can be worn on a gold chain with a loop. Additional fine gilding over the actual reddish gold gives it a matt, velvety shimmer. The front lid is adorned with a minimalist yet incredibly elegant decoration. It shows a raised circular motif with three engraved pendulums underneath. The design is set with two spring green demantoids and two red rubies, which were produced using the then new Verneuil process. The back cover is adorned with the elaborately engraved letter "M". Inside the locket are two golden frames, behind which there is space for two pictures, letters or locks of hair. We have added a gold chain to the locket so that it can be worn around the neck immediately.
