vintage mother-of-pearl rice beads form a luminous handmade chain, each bead catching the light with an iridescent sheen that evokes old-world elegance. the soft, pearly tones offer a timeless charm and delicate texture, reminiscent of heirloom rosaries and victorian finery.

suspended from this graceful strand is a vintage-style hand-tooled book locket, a romantic keepsake piece with hinged covers that open to hold tiny memories or photos. the locket is attached to the chain by a vintage antique brass double connector with a beautiful aged patina, adding a touch of timeworn character and visual intrigue. the intricate tooling on the locket lends a sense of craftsmanship and artistry, enhancing its storybook charm and heirloom quality.

the necklace is secured with an antique bronze toggle clasp, chosen for both its strength and classic aesthetic. this detail adds a touch of rustic warmth and completes the design with a quiet sophistication.
