This beautiful vintage 1960's sterling silver locket has plenty of age to it and features quality hand-engraving in a wonderful Edwardian Art Nouveau design.
One side of the locket is engraved in Acanthus leaves with a vacant rhombus shaped cartouche in the centre so you could choose to have it engraved for a personal touch. The other side is engraved in a bright-cut Crocus design, this lovely flower speaks of innocence and joy in the Victorian language of flowers.
The locket has a gently pillowed profile and it opens from the side to reveal 2 photo stations that have never been used. It has the original picture ring in one side which isn't really necessary because the wide rims have plenty of space to tuck your photos underneath, or you could choose to place a little keepsake in the roomy interior.
We have added a new Italian sterling silver anchor chain, its elegant flat cut links add a lovely sparkle that complements the locket's fabulous bright cut engraving. A gorgeous vintage locket in a fabulous revivalist design, the perfect medium size and ready to wear right out of the box!

MEASUREMENTS: 1-1/4" (3.4cm) tall measured with the oval ring, the locket itself is a 1" (2.5cm) circle. Chain 18" (46cm)
