Vintage Gold Plated Etched Octagon Locket Necklace w/ Monogram “MGM” on 14K GF Chain - 2 Photo Art Deco Era Estate Jewelry Timeworn Treasure

$110.50 $130.00

Description:
An antique eight-sided or octagon shaped locket with a monogram of MGM in a block font inside a rectangular shape on the front. The front of this Art Deco Era locket also has etched vertical pinstripes on either side of the central monogram. We call this necklace one of our “Timeworn Treasures” as this early 1900s piece shows some wear from its past with some denting / impressions and patina. Still, it is a lovely piece from yesteryear to be worn and enjoyed today!

The back side of this antique locket is plain with no design. Locket is gold plated and is circa early 1900s. The locket opens and closes securely.

The antique 8-sided locket opens and closes securely and has a tiny rounded end fold over clasp with an open triangular bale - it reminds one of a purse closure. This locket is quite slender, more slender than most especially considering its size.

This locket has a unique closure at the top that reminds one of a purse - a little round is pushed to open it. The bale is a triangle shape and this little round is just below the bale.

Inside the locket are two black and white old pictures of two beautiful women dressed in fancy early 1900s garb. The do not appear to be photos, they seem printed.

Both of the frame's sides are hallmarked for the FM CO.

The antique locket hangs from a new 14K gold filled Rolo chain that is 18" long. The spring ring clasp on the chain opens and closes securely.
