A beautiful antique Victorian locket made of a rosy yellow gold tone metal, likely gold plated brass. Engraved on both sides, the front is decorated in a floral rose design with a vacant rhombus shaped cartouche to accommodate a monogram. The other side is engraved in rose-hip berries and foliage. It can be worn with either side facing, two lockets in one!
The locket opens from the side to reveal 2 compartments for photos. There is a picture frame, glass cover and a period photo in one side and a black cardboard liner in the other.
The locket measures 1-5/8"/4cm tall (without the bail ) and 1-1/4"/3.2cm wide. It is 2-1/4"/5.8cm tall including the bail loop and weighs 14.6 grams.
In good antique condition with some plating wear which doesn't detract from the overall aesthetic but it does bear mentioning and we have priced accordingly. The locket closes tightly with a satisfying click and it has been professionally polished, some age appropriate patina & wear remains.
At Mercy Madge we offer quality antique and vintage jewellery sourced in Great Britain. Each piece is hand selected with you in mind and we rarely come across two identical old treasures, once they are gone, they are truly gone!
