From my personal collection

Lucky bean charms were common during the Victorian era as a potent symbol of endurance

but it exploded in popularity when Prince Albert died and Queen Victoria took to wearing gobs of it…the original goth

This tiny swan was originally a French tie pin

and shelter

commensurate with age and use

You could replace the dried flowers with a photo or memento of your own

The tiny ruby cabochons are the icing on the cuteness cake

It made more sense to me as a necklace

should you want to wear the chain with another pendant or charms

and this locket is rich with it
