Austro-Hungarian Foiled Amethyst & Pearl Locket in Gilded Silver
Lavishly ornate and richly romantic, this Austro-Hungarian locket is crafted in Gilded Silver and paved with luminous foiled Amethysts and petite Pearls. A tapestry of chased foliate scrolls, scalloped collets and tiny bead accents creates beautiful depth, while the warm gilt plays against the cooler Silver tones for an opulent two-tone glow.
The Amethysts, enhanced by their traditional foiled and closed-back settings, shimmer with saturated purple hues, interspersed with creamy Pearls for a delicate, floral feel. Complete with a sturdy fixed bail and smooth hinge, the interior is ready to keep a cherished memento close to your heart.
Layaway - Partial payments until it’s ready to ship. Bag a treat.

Layaway Installment Plans
A layaway is an interest-free payment plan that enables you to reserve an item with an initial deposit, and then pay the balance over 60 days.
Layaway is very popular with Lillicoco customers, particularly when making a more considered purchase.
How It Works
In total, you will make three payments over three months:
Day 1: 33.33%
Day 30: 33.33%
Day 60: 33.33%
Your layaway purchase is reserved for you as soon as the initial payment has been taken.
Your order is shipped once the full balance has been paid.
All of our usual terms and conditions apply with a layaway purchase, although 15% of the invoice total is nonrefundable in case of cancellation or return, acting as an administration fee.
A layaway is not a loan, nor is it a form of credit. A credit check is not required to put an item on layaway, and missing a payment will not affect your credit score.
If you do not complete your layaway on schedule your reservation may be cancelled and your payments may be refunded, minus the administration fee.
