It is a hinged cuff bracelet with a locket that opens to reveal a portrait of a man. On the inside of the bracelet is a glass covered locket photo of a woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat I love about the hidden photo on the back side of the bracelet is that this would be worn touching the skin, essentially as close as physically possible to the wearer. Something about that sentiment seems so special to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAside from being a visually stunning piece, this bracelet feels quite special to me. I'm not certain if it was worn as a mourning piece or as something sentimental during the lifetime of the subjects in the photograph, but I am leaning more toward mourning, due to the black enamel and the belt and buckle motif, which symbolizes eternal love, loyalty, and attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Measurements +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 1\/4\" circumference\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3\/8\" wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLocket measures 1 1\/2\" x 1 1\/4\" x 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Condition +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLovely condition overall with some minor age-related wear and patina. Some solder marks and small hairline cracks on the backside (nothing affecting the integrity of the bracelet), and some darkening to the gold fill. There was a safety chain at one time which has not been lost. Clasp is secure. Inside the locket there is some strange darkening and residue on the interior of the lid. I am not sure what this is. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Please read +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis item is not new, and as such, it has wear commensurate with age.
