[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3681589, member: 2844"]Yes it is. The stones could be Bohemian garnets. Where was your family from? The bail looks decorated, could we see a photo of it? In the Netherlands this would be a mourning locket, since it is silver with garnets or glass garnets. Overhere garnets were worn for a later stage of mourning, although there are regional differences. In most other countries this would be a sentimental locket, since it has no mourning symbols, or colours that are connected with mourning in those countries. Mourning lockets don't hold fluid, as far as I know.[/QUOTE]
