An inscribed tablet of 18k gold holds imprints on a desert landscape, where sinuous curves on the surface tell of sidewinding rattlesnakes who once sought respite from the sun-warmed sand. Inspired by the topography of designer Holly Tupper’s family ranch in South Texas, this locket is made luminous with bezel and prong-set spinel crystals oozing with the crimson of prickly pears. Within its confines is a porcelain disc scented with one of the house’s fragrances — a constant companion and reminder of love.When not being used as a pomander for fragrance, this locket can be a secret hold-all. Precious keepsakes can be held close to one’s heart.
