  • Brand: Hand crafted Victorian antique piece
  • All returns accepted: ReturnsNotAccepted
  • Condition: Excellent condition. Rare. On the slide, there is a corner opening and a line, see the last picture. This corner opening is most likely done on purpose so this side of the slide is loose while the other side tight so to be able to move the slide but also stay in place due to the special nature of the material. Inside the locket there is chip on the raised oval, please see the 5th picture for this condition. Overall it is an exceptional piece with hinge mechanism and slide structure that work great.
  • Main Stone: Gutta Percha
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: Unknown
