This exquisite pendant is made of antique sterling silver and has a unique feature: a hinged gold gilt finish that opens to reveal pierced holes. Its rectangular shape with curved front and back gives it a book-like appearance, and inside, there is a locket style hinged compartment where one can place a daub of perfume on cotton. Originally used on a chatelaine, this pendant is not only collectible but also a great heirloom.
