A delightful, dainty and elegant solid gold locket suspended from an 18 inch 9ct gold necklace. The antique was crafted by the maker T J Skelton in the Edwardian era. The locket was assayed* (tested for gold purity*) at Birmingham Assay Office in 1906.
The anterior surface is decorated with a cartouche, a forget-me-not flower and ivy leaves. The posterior surface is also ornamented with ivy leaves. Forget-me-not flowers convey the feelings of true love and respect. Ivy leaves convey the desire for everlasting love, deep friendship and fidelity.
