19th Century Russian 14KT Gold Enamel & Diamond Locket

A finely crafted 19th-century Russian locket executed in 14KT gold, decorated with pale lilac guilloché enamel and accented by diamond-set motifs. The oval locket is bordered with white enamel panels interrupted by diamond-set foliate details, a style characteristic of late Imperial Russian jewellery. The interior retains its original glazed compartment and silk lining, indicating use as a portrait or keepsake locket. A refined and collectible example of Russian goldsmithing from the late 19th century.
