Gothic Winged Cherub locket necklace dripping in gunmetal chain

The winged cherub was used in many victorian pieces and it was a symbol used in many memorials and on many gravestones. A symbol of the agent of God, guardians of the dead, symbolizing spirituality. THe locket is quite large ( 2" with wings) and can hold two photos or a small treasure. IT is thick ( 1/3" ) which gives you almost a small compartment to hold a sacred piece. The locket has beautiful raised relief on all sides and is gunmetal which is almost a dark pewter color. THe heavy chains hold this large locket in draped festoon style. The chain that goes around the neck is 24" long with an additional 3" drop for the locket and chain. A gunmetal toggle clasp is used to close the neck chain. Very victorian in style and a really dramatic piece!
