DESCRIPTION: A beautiful and rare antique Victorian gold cased and solid silver oval locket, adorned with a ruby tone pastes and seed pearls in an ornate setting. The locket has a low karat gold cased finish. Gold casing is a very thick form of rolled gold/gold filled, it's about 5 times thicker, therefore the locket till has a strong rose gold colour. Most of the 3D decoration on the front is made from solid silver with a gold vermeil, which is a nice touch. It opens/closes well and has the original glass and metal retaining shims for both sides (the glass edges are chipped in areas, see picture 7). It weighs approx. 14.17g and the size dimensions are in the latter photos. As to be expected with the items age and type, it isn't stamped/hallmarked, it tests as explained above. PLEASE NOTE: The are some large dents to the rolled gold frame on the side of the locket, see pictures/video. Part of the floral silver section on the front has movement to one strand and can be moved out of it's seating hole (see pictures 12 and 13), it's still secure but thought it worth mentioning. The price of the item reflects the above.
