Gorgeous locket in a shape of a cross decorated with flower motives and two cherubs and a puppet as pendants. The edges of the cross have engraved details as well as its back side that has a flower motive. The locket opens from the top and allows the storage of small items inside; the piece has a ring for a lace. Reliquary lockets were treasured by their owners as souvenirs of pilgrimages, used as amulets and talismans, and given to the images of favorite saints as votive offerings. Lockets were used as devotional items to inspire and comfort believers. During Colonial Times these lockets evolved into a unique genre of devotional jewelry and artistic expression. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
