This is a stunning locket, way above the rest in its craftmanship and its condition. It looks like it was kept in the jewelry box, maybe worn on a ribbon during special occassions. Who knows? Tested 18kt gold, this unmarked treasure has a floral spray of lily of the valley (?correct me if im wrong please!) on the front, surrrounded by pristine scrollwork, and topped by a big gorgeous bail. The bail and the rim around the front of the locket are even a rose gold, the rest of the piece very high yellow gold. It is that attention to detail I admire in fine jewelry.
When you open it up, the smooth gold and clear, unwarped glass hasnt a scratch, and the back just shiny gold too!
From top of the bail to bottom of locket it is 1.74 inches. Width is 1.25inches. The whole thing weighs 20.56 grams!
The bail is fabulous, with a hook that can slide right onto a appropriately substantial chain or an omega chain, for a twist. Or, if you want to make people stare, try it on a black ribbon for a striking effect. What an amazing antique and a luxurious locket!
