A dark, gear-shaped form sits at the center of a radiating burst of light and shadow. The edges of the central shape are soft and blurred, while wisps extend outwards like sun rays or petals. The overall tone is muted and slightly aged, with a grainy texture suggesting it could be an old photograph or print.

Lingering Values

The locket's price doesn’t measure its inherent value, but rather signals the end of one relationship and the beginning of another—a preservation through ownership marked by a specific sum.
