Enchantingly beautiful fully hallmarked antique locket which was crafted by Albert Ernest Jenkins in 1911. This splendid piece is ornamented with swallows and garlands of roses on both sides. An ornamental bow is attached to one of the garlands. The engraved bow symbolises the desire of the donor to give themselves to the recipient. Swallows are seen as lucky talismans for those who travel, ensuring a safe return home. Roses symbolise love and adoration. The catches and hinges work perfectly.
This antique was assayed* (tested for purity*) at Chester Assay Office in 1911.
The locket is suspended from an elegant 9 carat gold 18 inch necklace.
The interior of the locket is fitted with the original frames and watered silk linings and so portraits or locks of hair can be fitted easily.
