A super quality antique rolled gold heart locket by Kollmar & Jourdan. Rolled gold is a mechanically bonded overlay of solid gold, it is much thicker than modern electroplating and can withstand plenty of wear and use.
The locket is engraved front and back in a very pretty floral pattern with shield motifs in the centre. It opens from the side and has two removable picture frames and clear hard plastic photo covers. This is a good size locket with a large heavy duty bail and the gold has the lovely subtle rosy hue that you only see in antique gold.
A beautiful and romantic antique locket, Kollmar and Jourdan were an important manufacturing firm of jewellers based in Pforzheim in the Black Forest, Germany. Desirable and super quality K&G rolled gold jewellery has withstood the test of time and is highly collectible today!
The locket can be purchased with or without the new gold vermeil (gold plated sterling silver) 18" (45cm) belcher chain. Our chains are made in Italy, fully hallmarked and excellent quality.
