This Victorian ornament, with two brass clasps so it can be worn as a necklace if you so choose, features a locket with an hourglass icon in the front and red floral patterns in the back; a Berlin iron toggle; and black silk cords that simulate hair. This piece is extremely versatile and looks fantastic around the neck if not being worn as a watch ornament.
