More than just jewelry, this Folded Orb Pendant is designed to hold your most meaningful moments close. At first glance, it presents as a smooth, polished sphere-minimal and refined. With a gentle unfolding, it transforms to reveal four hidden photo frames within, turning a simple form into something deeply personal.
Thoughtfully crafted, the pendant opens into a miniature storybook, allowing you to carry loved ones, milestones, or quiet memories wherever you go. Each image becomes part of an intimate keepsake, hidden in plain sight.
Inspired by the rare Victorian folding orb lockets of the late 19th century (circa 1880–1900), this piece reimagines a historic design once crafted primarily in 14–18k gold and believed to have originated in France and England. Like its predecessors, the orb unfolds from a solid sphere into multiple hinged, revolving compartments-updated here with a modern, minimalist sensibility.
Elegant on the outside and sentimental within, it’s a timeless piece made for everyday wear or meaningful gifting.

A lilttle side history: William Spratnik September 22, 1900 – August 7, 1967) was an American-born architect, silver designer and artist best known for his influence on 20th century Mexican silver design. In the early 1930's, Spratling went to a small Mexican village called Taxco and started the modern Mexican silver movement. He worked with a select group of Mexican artisans and established the Taller de las Delicias in 1931. The designs, including the complex mechanics of pieces like the orb pendants, were influenced by a mix of Pre-Columbian, Aztec, and Art Deco styles, with a strong focus on structural design.
