We can’t resist a good ball pendant — or a good locket! Imagine our delight to find this circa 1950s, star-studded ball gold ball locket! A golden planet under a blanket of stars.

The locket opens via a clever hinge mechanism, with 4 photo panels that swivel out from the belly of the orb. Each panel should hold 2 images back to back, for a total of 8.

We love the soft, satiny Florentine finish and the gem-set engraved stars. The locket is dense and weighty — so tactile and soothing to hold.

Fabulous find for all you lovers of orbs, planets, stars, and, of course, lockets!
