Human beings manifest an intense desire to preserve cherished memories.

Whether a digital picture or the representation of a child’s hand pressed in ochre onto the wall of an ancient cave, we all want to freeze moments in time that are dear to us.

One of the more personal ways is by wearing a locket, such as this 14k gold rock crystal one. Almost magical in nature, rock crystal is a form of quartz that is highly valued for its clarity and total lack of color.

Everything that the cool crystal covers appears slightly magnified with an almost mystical quality. Two halves have been carved into the shape of an orb. Hinged at the bottom, a 14k solid gold patterned border surrounds each section.

A present for yourself, or another, it is just deep enough to place a thin keepsake from your past.
