Guilloche is the art of applying intricate patterns to metal. First popular in 1800, the fashion was revived 100 years later.
Here a round 14k gold locket comes alive with a medley of designs emblazoned on the front. A sunray pattern emanates from the center where a dainty old European cut diamond sparkles away.
A border of textured, dimpled gold is further embellished with petite cicules. Top and bottom are hand-engraved acanthus leaf designs and flourishes.
At the outer edge, an intricate wave pattern lends its panache.
This locket pendant opens at the side to reveal two photo compartments. The reverse is ever so slightly convex and polished plain.
A perfect width, it is easily worn every day, even while sleeping.
