Antique Edwardian Solid Gold Locket Initials H, H C, I C, J C.
This is a stylish British Edwardian fully hallmarked solid gold portrait locket which was tested for purity at Birmingham Assay Office in 1910. Stylish engine turned designs grace both sides of the locket. The front is decorated with a shield cartouche which contains letters which are so ornate that they are open for interpretation. As you can see the inscription could read as H, H C, I C, J C.
The shield cartouche symbolises the desire of the donor to protect the recipient. The maker is Albert Earnest Jenkins.
The original sepia photograph, frames and portrait protectors are present. Image seven shows the original lock of hair. The clasp and hinge work perfectly.
We have included an ornate necklace so this locket can be worn immediately.
