Lovely small rose gold antique locket on solid 9ct gold chain. Locket is 18.30 mm diameter. The chain is 18 inches. The locket is marked 9ct back & front. These older lockets were sheet gold cased with a metal frame for extra strength.
The locket on close inspection has a very tiny pin hole. All these lockets were made using a thin sheet of gold. The gold often had fine little holes where the engraving was at its deepest. Hence we have priced it as such.
A real beautiful antique little locket. It has still the two little gold rims that will hold the two photos in place.
