Victorian Locket - Gold opal in the ancient Greek talesDuring the Victorian era, hand jewels were carved from delicate materials like ivory and coral, decorated with cuffs and accented with gold and gemstones. These hands, could carry as much symbolic significance as the hamsa. They often held allegorical objects such as wreaths, which would have indicated memorialization, or snakes which stood for eternality. Our elegant hand holds a snake engraved on a locket. Hold an image of someone dear eternally.
