DESCRIPTION:

Lockets developed out of talisman jewelry worn to ward off evil spirits. They came to signify:  love, honor, a pledge of allegiance, a symbol of mourning, a commitment or a window to the past.
Lockets have been used to carry: powder, miniature portraits, ashes, herbal remedies, poison, and perfume-soaked fabric.

• .5"  heart locket on 20" figero chain.
• 14k gold over brass.

Designed and assembled in Amano's Sonoma California studio.

• Care Instructions: Amano's plating is a genuine fine 24k gold. The gold is applied to a base metal (brass in this case) in a very thin layer. Gold-plated jewelry is an affordable option for solid gold. You can lengthen the life of the gold layer by removing your jewelry when swimming in pools and especially the ocean. Also while exercising. Salt and chemicals break down the gold layer. Do not use a polishing cloth with chemicals to clean plated jewelry as the gold will rub right off.
