Sunburst "flaming star" motifs were the 1960s answer to the space race, and this locket wears the look outright: fluted rays fan from a rope-twist edge, a full halo of round-cut garnets rings the center medallion, and a single diamond sits dead-center in an engraved eight-point star. It opens on a top hinge to a plain photo compartment inside.
