A beautiful 1970s antique style large silver English locket and chain. This is a heavy gauge locket and a solid good quality piece. The front is engraved in a beautiful fern and forget-me-not fern pattern with the back left smooth. The top is enhanced with a large size fan shaped bail.
The locket opens to reveal two compartments for photos along with the original silver picture rings, and a cardboard liner and plastic cover in the "deep" side. We have added a new 24" silver chain. Our chains are manufactured in Italy and are high quality and fully hallmarked. They have a lovely oxidized finish to impart a antique patina which is perfect for vintage lockets.
MATERIALS: Sterling silver locket and chain.
MEASUREMENTS: Locket 2-1/2" high, 1-1/2" wide (65x40mm), 10mm deep (will hold photos 1-3/4x1-1/4") Chain, 24" (61cm) long.
HALLMARKS: Locket: lion passant, 'anchor' city mark for Birmingham date letter 'V' for 1970. Chain: 925', 'star' symbol, and 'AR'.
WEIGHT: 19.7 grams.
Offered in excellent condition, a little light surface wear as you would expect of any pre-loved locket of this age but nothing untoward and no dents or dings. The locket closes tightly shut with a satisfying snap and the heavy duty hinge is in perfect order with little use.
