Virgin Hodegetria Golden Locket Tested 585 (14K) Rose and White Gold

The gold icon-locket necklace shown here depicts Christ as an infant who is snuggling up to His Mother by brushing Her face with His cheek. This type of icon is called 'Virgin Hodegetria' and not only represents a Mother's love for her Son, but also symbolizes the man's love for God and the God's love for man. The frontal side of this orthodox locket icon has a filigree design featuring a Russian diamond splash. The Icon pendant consists of rose gold and white gold parts that open up to reveal a compartment inside that can be used to keep a tiny memento reminding you of a loved one.
