A beautiful vintage English sterling silver locket and chain. Edwardian in style the locket is oval in shape with a lovely scalloped outline and an elegant fan shaped bale. The front is engraved on one side in a floral pattern with the back left smooth.
The locket opens from the side to reveal two compartments for photos, the picture rings are fixed in place so photos simply tuck behind them. It still has its original plastic photo covers and blue paper liners.
A elegant vintage treasure in a generous size that will accommodate fairly large photos. It is in beautiful condition and opens easily and closes securely. There is a little slippage at the hinge (although the hinge is solid) so there is a very small gap around the edge when it is closed. It is not particularly noticeable but bears mentioning and we have priced the locket with this tiny flaw in mind.
We have added a new sterling silver diamond cut trace chain, with its elegant flat oval links the chain adds a beautiful sparkle that complements the high polish of the locket beautifully. Our chains are made in Italy, they are fine quality and fully hallmarked.
MATERIALS: Sterling silver locket and chain.
MEASUREMENTS: The locket measures 2" (50mm) high including the bale and 1-1/4" (30mm), the chain is 18" (46cm). Photo compartments are approx. 28x25mm
WEIGHT: 9.6 grams, total
HALLMARKS: Locket stamped '925' on inside and '925', 'leopards head' for London and 'scales 925' the international convention quality control mark. The chain is stamped '925' and '*AR'
DATE: 1980s
