Late 19th Century French Starburst Locket

This is a gold-filled locket from France, dating back to the 1860s-1870s, adorned with paste gems and pearls. The piece is both geometrically structured and richly ornate. Its layered design creates a gear-like visual effect that complements the engraved patterns on the inner rim. The center is symmetrically adorned with starburst motifs; the larger cross-shaped star is accented with pearls, lending a warm and delicate charm, while the surrounding smaller starbursts are set with pinkish-hued paste stones, their rich color enhancing the locket's noble appearance. The craftsmanship is meticulous, evident from the regular markings on the interior, reflecting the maker's attention to detail. The locket does not have a glass compartment for the photo, so it is not recommended to place overly thick mementos inside. The overall condition is good, with natural patina and signs of wear consistent with its age, some areas being more noticeable. Please remember this is a century-old antique, not a new item.
