A top quality, exquisitely hand-engraved very large Victorian Aesthetic antique sterling silver locket.
Crafted in heavy gauge solid silver the front of the locket is engraved in ornate Asian inspired motifs framed by round silver studs that are punched in star motifs. The back of the locket is also decorated in the star studs.
To finish the locket has cut-out edges to the back and front with a halo of silver beads adding to the beautiful decoration. The yoke at the top of the locket benefits from a gorgeous large arrow shaped bale that is also engraved.
The locket opens from the side to reveal 2 generously sized, quite deep compartments so there is plenty for little keepsakes and larger photos.
Paired with a substantial silver chain to match her character this superb locket will make the perfect antique statement piece for women who love to stand out from the crowd! Please note the chain shown is not included in purchase.

MEASUREMENTS: locket 2-1/2" (6cm) tall including the bale, 1-5/8" (4cm) wide, 11mm deep, photo size approx. 1-1/2x1-1/4" - 4x3.5cm

HALLMARKS: none and we have acid tested and verified solid sterling silver throughout
DATE: Victorian, circa 1880
CONDITION: in very, very good condition with minor wear, surface scratches and light tarnish as you would expect in an antique locket.
