This beautiful vintage English hallmarked sterling silver locket is a fairly large size and is obliquely engraved on the front in an Art Nouveau style fern flourish pattern. The lower section is left plain so you could choose to have it engraved in a monogram for a personal touch.
Crafted in fairly heavy gauge silver the locket opens from the side to reveal 2 compartments for precious photos and in the front there is the original foil placeholder, paper liner and clear acetate cover. To finish the locket has a fancy V-shaped bale and suspends from a quality vintage 19" sterling silver fine curb chain.
Fully hallmarked this beautiful vintage English locket with her charming old world detailing is the perfect statement piece and ready to wear right out of the box!
