Suzanne Felsen Gold Locket

Lockets for the most part are not associated with modern jewelry but designer Suzanne Felsen has created a gold locket that is contemporary and stylish. Felsen opened a new store (designed by Koning Eizenberg & Associates, the same architects who did the Standard hotel) on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles last fall, while her pieces can also be ordered off her web site. The locket comes in either yellow or white gold. The version shown here has a .48 carat amethyst in the center of the one-inch pendant with a border of pave set rubies. It sells for $4800 and would be a wonderful Mother's Day gift.
