    For your consideration is this sterling silver locket containing first class relics.
    It contains in this order: St. Vincent de P., St. L. de Marillac, St. C,Laboure, Bx Perboyre , Bx. F. Clet , Bx Rogue.
    These are the fuller names :
    St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, St. Catherine Laboure, Bx Perboyre (Jean-Gabriel Peyrboyre), Bx. F. Clet Martyr of Chine, Bx Rogue. The locket has tested as sterling silver.
    Please read this important information: This piece came from an antique dealer that deals in literally thousands of pieces of jewelry so I will not be able to get back to the origins of this piece.
    Also: I was afraid to open this locket for fear that I would damage it. I took it to my jeweler who opened it for me and allowed me to take pictures before he closed it back up again.While I absolutely believe this to be genuine, I see no seal in the wax stamp. He also noted a small mark on the locket - too small to make out. I see this relic on another site with a seal and the same exact insides and I see relics on this site without seals. I am not an expert by far but I am sure there are experts out there.
    The locket measures 1 and 3/8 inches by 1 inch including the top loop but not the added loop. As you can see, the patina is very uneven. it opens and closes securely.
