An antique Victorian gold-filled book chain choker necklace centered by an unusually large carved shell cameo locket. The portrait cameo is framed by ornate scrollwork, while the bold 14-inch book chain creates a dramatic close-fitting silhouette. The locket opens at the back to reveal an interior photo compartment and the necklace fastens with a box clasp.

Weight: 51.6 grams.
Markings: None.
Condition: Very good antique condition with some wear mostly visible on the back. The gold remains impressively strong overall.
