Description:
A classic vintage gold filled heart shaped locket necklace with a mother of pearl background that features a raised central flower that has black and white enamel petals and a clear paste gem center. The flower's center has a white gold colored prong setting in which is set a round faceted paste (glass) gem surrounded by the black and white enamel flower petals of what looks like a petunia flower. Below the flower are two leaves that are white gold in color. The longer leaf has 3 small clear paste stones in it and the shorter leaf has 2 small paste stones in it. The clear paste gem in the flower’s center is prong set. The smaller round stones are set inside the white gold colored leaves below the flower. The smaller stones in the leaves are in graduating sizes with the largest at the bottom of each leaf.
The back of this locket pendant has a fine vertical pinstriping on it. The fanned bale has some vertical lines on it. This wonderful locket is circa mid century. It opens and closes securely.
NOTE:
What is paste? Paste means stones made of various kinds of cut glass. Lead glass was most commonly used in the past to imitate diamonds in the 18th and 19th centuries, but paste stones were later colored by adding various metallic oxides. In more recent times, the makers of paste stones can imitate the color of almost any precious gemstone.
The interior of the locket is empty on one side and on the other is has an old black and white photo (circa 1940) with the frame and the plastic cover. This locket can hold two heart shaped photos (one on each side).
The locket hangs on a 14K gold filled oval link chain which secures with a spring clasp. Beautiful piece of romantic photograph jewelry.
