Antique Hair Locket on Vintage Gold Filled Chain
Beautiful Antique Victorian Mourning Hair Locket was once a pin.
It has been resurrected as a beautiful pendant and given a lovely thick
vintage rope chain. It can be made into a pin/brooch again with the
addition of a pin stem. The locket is pinchbeck, enameled and very
nicely detailed featuring an oval art glass cabochon with flowers. The
cabochon looks like Pietra Dura.
Locket measures 1 7/16" in
diameter and is 8mm thick. Back is open with framed glass which appears
to be original to the locket. It is in excellent condition with no
missing enamel. It dates from around 1900s.
The chain is much
newer than the locket and suits it well. It is gold filled, marked on
the clasp area 14/20 for 14k Gold Filled. It measures 3mm thick and is
18" long. Chain is in excellent condition. Dates from the 1960s, maybe
1970s.
Overall weight is 24.1 grams. |
