ERA/HALLMARK: Edwardian era, stamped 9ct Bk-ft (back and front) WEIGHT: 3.16g CONDITION: Very good condition on the outside of the locket, opens and closes well and securely. On the inside there is some slight green residue where the inner part has been tested for gold and some light wear consistent with age. Neither of which is noticeable when worn. This antique gold heart locket is a beautiful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, made in 9ct gold back and front. This term means the front and back panels are solid 9ct gold, while the inner frame and hinge use a stronger metal for stability. It was a clever way to keep the piece durable without sacrificing elegance. The front displays an ornate embossed pattern of flowers and scrolling details that catch the light beautifully. Inside, two small heart-shaped frames wait to hold photographs or keepsakes, offering a glimpse into the sentimental nature of lockets from the Edwardian era. Loved ones once wore these lockets close to the heart, keeping memories safely tucked away. Today, it’s a piece that connects past and present, perfect for anyone who treasures vintage romance. Why we love this locket This antique gold heart locket has a delicate balance of sentiment and style; ornate enough to draw the eye, yet understated enough for everyday wear.
