This lovely antique Victorian sterling silver locket is decorated in different designs on both sides so you can wear it with either side facing. One side features a forget-me-not spray and the other has a floral motif with a scroll cartouche that is vacant should you wish to get it engraved for a personal touch. The locket is a medium size with a lovely pillowed profile and plenty of room inside for keepsakes as well as photos and it has a single picture ring inside. It suspends from a vintage Italian sterling silver classic curb chain.
In good condition with signs of antique age like moderate surface wear, pin-point dings and a little aged patina in the nooks and crannies along with heavier tarnish to the inside (please see photos), it does close securely. The wear does not detract from the overall aesthetic of the piece but it bears mentioning and we have priced accordingly. A charming classic Victorian locket that deserves to be cherished again!
