French Silver Wave Pattern Slide Locket Pendant, c. 1900 antique its feathers carved in astonishingSome lockets feel like they were carried through whole chapters of a life, opening and closing on moments too precious to speak aloud. This French slide locket has that quality. Its surface undulates in elegant waves, a pattern that catches the light in long, fluid strokes as though it had been shaped by water rather than metal. Open it, and one side reveals a small mirrored world while the other offers a frame ready to hold a memory of your choosing.
