Two lockets on one chain. This 9k gold watch chain carries at one end a round locket with a platinum panel centered by a star-set glass stone, and at the other a square swivel locket set with rose-cut diamonds and emeralds in a crescent moon and star, still holding a small tintype of a child inside.

The crescent and star was one of the most popular motifs of late Victorian jewelry, a symbol of the night sky and of romance.
