Locket for Vera

I've known lockets since I was a child — my grandmother and my aunt both wore them, always with a tiny photo inside. I made this one as a gift for a milestone anniversary. The client brought a drawing as a reference and wanted an engraved branch motif around the name. There are few books that still teach these motifs — I practised most of them on a scrap metal sheet before I dared cut into the finished piece. Inside there's room for one small photo or message.
