Victorian Rock Crystal "Pool of Light" Locket ruby and crafted in 18 karatDATE: Victorian, c. 1880 Cool Victorian "pool of light" locket dating from the 1880s. The front and back are formed from two hemispheres of highly polished rock crystal that "catch" the light as it enters, causing it to "pool" inside. It's a breath taking effect in low light and direct sunlight alike. With silver fittings, and space in the centre to hold (and magnify, on account of the convex stone) a small keepsake or photograph.
