I made a few minor adjustments and added a border.

Nice work Martyn. I feel sure there should be a photo in that picture locket...I have a similar one and what you see is the glass with what looks like a shadow...but could it be a faded photo?

Thank you Carol. Personally i did not think there was a faded photo - but i am rarely accurate with my assumptions ;)  I also thought if it is glass then the shadow from top right to bottom left is also to deep to be a shadow from the rim of the locket onto the skin and would be closer to the inner edges than it is...but light can be deceptive..

Maybe a magnifying glass? But the chain may be a little short for this.

Might be an ancestor of something like this. Even the shadow is similar:
