1977 9ct Yellow Gold Botanical Engraved Oval Locket

A finely crafted locket from the late 20th century, this 9ct yellow gold oval pendant exemplifies the naturalistic design influences of the 1970s. It is distinguished by its engraved botanical motif framed within a decorative etched border. The symmetrical foliate design captures the period’s appreciation for organic forms, rendered here with refined precision.

The hinged locket opens to accommodate two small photographs or mementos, making it a sentimental keepsake as well as a wearable accessory. The surface retains crisp engraving, and the hallmarks are clear and fully legible on the reverse.
