This beautiful vintage English sterling silver locket dates to the 1970s and is very much in the Edwardian revival style that was all the fashion way back then.
Lovely quality in heavy gauge silver the locket is a large size so plenty of room for good sized photos. It is engraved on the front in ferns and flourishes with the back engraved in a machine turned geometric pattern. It looks to have been rarely, if ever, used or worn and it still has the original picture rings inside.
A very long, super quality Italian sterling silver curb chain completes this beautiful necklace. The chain has diamond cut links which adds a lovely sparkle. Perfect for layering or for wearing as a signature piece this locket is bound to become a favourite piece!
