1950s Striped Enamel Locket rings and the waning final quarter

and the waning final quarter as "decrescent"

but equally at home as a cocktail ring or even part of an everyday stack

1950s Striped Enamel Locket rings and the waning final quarterCool vintage locket made in Italy in the 1950s. The striking black enamel design reminiscent of a buckle or a Greek key over a striped background is employed in stark contrast with the warm yellow gold gilt finish. Green and white paste gemstones complete the Victorian Revival aesthetic. Complete with its original glass locket compartment inside (that someone has furnished with a Victorian portrait photograph of a woman). Era: Mid Century, circa 1950
