A beautiful keepsake from mid-century Canada, this large sterling silver locket by Birks features an ornate, hand-engraved floral motif on the front and a personal date—11 · 7 · 59—neatly inscribed on the back. The reverse is also stamped Sterling, the Birks trade mark, and BIRKS. An elegant, openwork bail echoes the scrolling pattern of the locket itself.
 
The original 18-inch Birks chain (clearly marked at the clasp) accompanies the pendant, making the piece ready to wear or gift. With its generous size and classic design, this locket is ideal for holding treasured photos or a small memento—an heirloom that bridges past and present with quiet grace.
