Some 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. It is the kind of piece that feels both personal and beautifully extravagant, meant to be touched, worn, and quietly adored.

Made in France around 1900, this locket is marked with the French boar’s head standard indicating silver refinement. It was likely crafted in 830 silver as many French pieces were. The locket measures 83.5 millimeters long, 46.5 millimeters wide, and 12.2 millimeters deep. It weighs 42.83 grams. One interior holds a locket frame, the other a mirror, both original to the piece. The exterior is decorated on both sides with a flowing wave motif that gives the locket its distinctive character.

Large, tactile, and wonderfully expressive, this is the kind of jewel that lends presence to anything it accompanies. Whether worn on a long chain or kept as a keepsake, it feels like an heirloom waiting patiently for its next story.
