## About
A curl of hair, a pinch of dried herb, a scrap of paper folded small: some things are meant to be kept close and unseen. This locket holds exactly one of them, and opens only when you mean it to.It is a crescent moon cast in sterling silver and given an oxidized, blackened finish, so the shine survives only in the raised grain of the design and the rest reads deep charcoal-grey. It hinges open along the inner curve of the crescent onto a small hollow, barely a thumbnail's worth of room.Lockets have carried keepsakes and small charms against loss for centuries, worn close to the body as much for comfort as for what is sealed inside. The crescent is traditionally read as the moon waxing rather than waning, a sign of beginnings and of things still gathering, which is why it has long been favored for a locket worn every day.DetailsMaterial: oxidized sterling silver, hallmarkedWeight: about 9 grams, locket aloneHinged, with a small hollow insideHow to useFill the hollow with whatever you would keep close, then wear it on a chain of its own or thread it onto one you already have.
