Description from the seller

925 Sterling Silver Expanding Photo Locket Pendant – Accordion Memory Locket – circa 1970–1990

A beautifully crafted sterling silver expanding photo locket pendant, designed in an elegant spherical shape. At first glance it appears to be a simple polished silver pendant, but when opened it unfolds into an ingenious accordion-style construction revealing a series of oval photo frames.

The interior accommodates 4 photographs, with space for up to 6 small portraits depending on how the frames are used. This clever mechanical design allowed the wearer to carry treasured photographs of family members or loved ones in a compact and discreet way.

The pendant is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver, weighs approximately 14 grams, and measures about 2 × 2 cm (approximately 2.5 cm including the suspension loop).

The polished silver exterior gives the piece a timeless appearance, while the expanding mechanism makes it an attractive collector's object as well as an elegant piece of wearable jewellery.

Condition is very good with only light signs of careful use consistent with age. The expanding mechanism functions properly. Please study the photographs carefully as they form an integral part of the description.
