Locket necklaces have long been worn to keep something close to one's heart. A portrait, a lock of hair, a discreet symbol. They were passed down, closed, and worn against the skin.
In the 19th century, they often appeared in sentimental jewelry. They served to contain a presence, to fix a memory in an object that was never taken off.
This pendant revives that idea, but without an enclosed image. The amber stone occupies the center instead of a portrait. Its dense color draws the eye and gives the piece its gravitas.
Mother-of-pearl surrounds it, with a more shifting, almost fragile light. It doesn't tell a specific story, but it preserves the possibility of one.
The piece retains this simple idea: to wear something that matters, without needing to display it.
