We are please to offer an Imperial Russian Locket in the equivalent of 14kt gold made by Karl Faberge. The front of the locket is in a star-burst pattern emerging from what is a pale ruby. The back is plain.

Inside there is the possibility of inseting two picture. On one side there is a small insert holding the stone. The locket is held closed by a very small clasp and the hinge on the other side remains solid.

To the top is a small loop designed to hold the bale that was marked with Faberge's mark. Unfortunately the chain and bale were lost by the consignor's mother many years ago while fleeing Russia during the revolution of 1917.

Hence, though we cannot find any marks on this particular locket, it is obvious and clear that it was made by Faberge.

The locket has suffered over the years and there is some wear to the edges, and especially to the rear where there are a few minor creases. Despite this, it is a marvellous piece of quality jewellery.
