9ct Gold

Antique One-of-a-Kind Book Locket

Antique One-of-a-Kind Book Locket

One of the most extraordinary lockets I’ve ever come across. Designed like a miniature book or briefcase, it opens to reveal a central rectangular frame for a photo or a folded letter (I love the idea of giving lockets with letters inside, it’s such a personal gesture). Each side flips open like a cover, perfectly engineered so it folds back neatly. Inside is a tiny inscription, “KGB from DLB,” which makes you instantly wonder about their story. The exterior is a masterclass in antique engraving, deep floral and forget me not etching on both sides and even along the edges(!!!), places you can only see if you look closely which is testament to what an incredibly thoughtful and valuable commission this was. It’s all hand done, crisp, and precise, proof that this was made with real care for someone deeply loved. The mechanism works smoothly and the condition is exceptional. This is a once in a lifetime collector’s piece, crafted with heart and built to outlive everyone who touches it.

Please note

The expectation with antique and vintage jewellery is that there will be normal signs of wear commensurate with age eg. scuffs and patina. Lovers of antique and vintage jewellery usually value these things for giving their piece history and character.

I make every effort to clearly list any defects above usual wear, and to take clear photos that represent the item clearly.

The photos constitute part of the description and we ask you view them carefully before purchasing.

Instalment Payment Info

We offer a traditional layaway system – not a buy-now-pay-later setup like Klarna. You pay a 30% deposit now, then two more payments over 60 days. Your piece is safely reserved, and we’ll post it out once all payments are complete.

At Trash Lobster, we think this is a more ethical way to offer flexibility – no credit checks, no predatory lenders, just time to pay at your own pace.

Want to pay it off early? Just give us a shout and we’ll sort it.
