A truly unique locket made from two 22k 'spade' Guinea coins dating to the late-eighteenth century on an 18k hinged frame with a bail attachment. The exterior of the locket is visibly well-loved while the interior of the locket preserves the details of the coins themselves. The interior frame of the locket has space for two images to be kept inside.
