Made in 15ct gold and set with natural seed pearls at its centre, its balanced cross form makes an elegant accent for a lapel or jacket. The Chester hallmark dates it to 1885, while a faded maker’s mark offers a further trace of its history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally made as a locket, it no longer has its locket window.
