Artistic antique lockets....


I've always loved antique lockets.  I don't know if it's the beautiful rustic metal they're made out of, or their wonderful Victorian feel.  Or maybe it's because I love to imagine the women who wore them & what special occasion they were purchased for.  At any rate, I stumbled upon these beautiful lockets on Etsy, not only are the styles & metals beautiful on their own, but these wonderful artists have added tiny pieces of their art to them.  I think it's a lovely idea! Here are a few of my favorites....
This one's not a locket, but I think it's just as lovely! :)
