An incredible antique or true vintage silver opening locket with embossed, textured scenes of a Geisha Girl in a flowing kimono to one side and birds and chrysanthemum flowers to the other side.

The locket book opens to reveal a miniature photo album concealed inside. There are 12 unique photographs included of women wearing kimonos; one laughing, one holding a fan, etc.

This is a remarkable piece of vintage or antique Japanese jewellery, likely created for a souvenir market.

There are Japanese marks to the inside. Likely for the metal and the maker.

The locket is of high quality construction, and it is rare that it has maintained its original book to the inside.

This would make a fantastic gift for a charm collection, or look wonderful as an interesting pendant on a chain.

The locket fastens securely.

In really nice vintage condition. There are some signs of wear to the photo collection. Please be sure to see all of the photos.

This piece is not stamped, but has been tested as low-grade silver.
