Surrounding the centre is an elaborate enamel border in black and white enamel, very well done with a Greek key type style. The back has a deep glazed compartment for hair but this is currently empty and could be used for a photograph. It has an old C type clasp, the pin is a base metal. Good used condition overall, tiny chip to the onyx, some evidence of soft solder to the reverse, the glass panel is dusty underneath and there is a small opening to the gold on the rim at the top.
