An ornate high quality antique solid yellow gold Edwardian keepsake locket weighing 4.4 grams. The locket was assayed (tested) for purity at Chester in 1905. The locket is suspended from an 18 1/2 inch fully hallmarked yellow gold twisted rope chain necklace weighing 4.2 grams. One side of the locket is embellished with forget-me-nots and roses which symbolise true love and romance. The other side is decorated with a shield cartouche framed by acanthus leaves. Acanthus leaves represent everlasting life.
The shield cartouche represents the desire of the donor to protect the recipient.
The catches and hinges work perfectly.
Both of the original portrait frames and card backings are in place. There is also one clear portrait protector present.
We only source hallmarked gold lockets of superb quality to save you time and guarantee purity. You will not see gold plated (gold front & back) lockets or rolled gold lockets in our stores.
