Vintage Mother of Pearl Heart Photo Locket Necklace 50s Hand Painted Mom Gift

A softly iridescent heart locket rendered in gold tone, its hand-painted florals and cursive “Mother” inscription speak to a time when personal jewelry carried intimate meaning. The hinged form and restrained scale suggest something chosen for closeness—meant to be worn often, kept near, and opened privately. It reads as a small, sincere keepsake rather than a decorative statement.
