Description:
This vintage 10K gold filled oval locket that was made circa the early to mid 1900s by the Bliss Brothers Company - see NOTE below about this company. The locket is circa early 1900s and hangs from a new 14K gold filled cable chain that is 18" long. The locket front’s etched cartouche and tiny garland design at the bottom center captures the eye. This little etched design is surrounded by a brushed finish. The locket opens as intended and closes securely.

NOTE: Bliss Brothers Company was founded by Charles Edwin Bliss, Everett Bradford Bliss, and R.L.F. Everett. According to an 1883 history of the county, Bliss Brothers & Everett “made a general variety of ladies’ and gents’ gold-plated goods.” The company became Bliss Brothers Co. sometime after 1887. Compacts, pill boxes, and other small items, including gold-filled and sterling jewelry, were made.

The back of the locket is plain and also has a shiny finish.

The bale is fanned and has a raised edge and some some decorative rounds at the top and bottom. The bale has a curled end at the top, and at the bottom. The top curl holds the chain and the bottom curl is attached to the locket itself.

Inside the locket are two oval wells. Both of the oval shaped photo wells have their paper backing and frames intact. The well on the right side also has the plastic cover intact.

The antique locket opens from right and has its hinge on the left. The center of one of the wells has the Bliss Brothers Company hallmark.

The locket hangs from a new 14K yellow gold filled chain that has a spring ring clasp. The clasp opens and closes securely.
