Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Siam Sterling Silver round photo locket pendant featuring intricate hand-engraved traditional scrollwork.
During the mid-20th century—particularly through the 1950s and 1960s—Siam (Thailand) sterling jewelry became extremely popular souvenirs among Western tourists and U.S. military service members stationed in Southeast Asia. While the structural locket frame and hinge were factory-formed blanks, local Thai artisans hand-cut the outer decorative patterns using traditional gravers, making the etched scrollwork on each piece unique.
