Locket with Love

Locket with Love, 2022 Locket by Joel (Sargent Pepper) Briggs.
Made of 925 Sterling Silver with Gold Plating and a 925 Sterling Silver chain. A absolutely stunning and brilliant piece. On the outside it shows Black Rock City with the Temple at top with a Bezel set Red Sapphire and the mountains in the distance. On the back are the 10 principles of Burning Man and symbols of Fire and Heart. Opening the locket, the piece unfolds into 3 fold pieces. The Man is both in silver and gold with a heart. Only 121 were ever made.

Sargent Pepper writes, “This piece is by far my most finest piece built to date. The craftsmanship is the quality that comes from creating with passion, care, and attention to detail and when you hold this locket in your hand, you will agree.

The outer shells are made from sterling silver with a sapphire stone for the temple placement. The inner is a stainless steel piece electroplated in 18k gold. It’s a tri-face locket that opens and has the BM Man in heart shape. Opening this piece exposes a blank face where you may place a small picture or have custom engraving done at a local jewelry store. The locket is just under 2” in diameter. Its comes with a silver chain.”
