Victorian Oval Locket w/ Ornate Black White Blue Red Enamel w/ Etched & Chased Back on 14K GF Curb Chain - Antique Vintage Estate Jewelry

$250.75 $295.00

Description:
A Victorian gold filled mourning locket in an oval shape with black and white enameling. The front of this antique locket pendant is quite ornate and features an etched and chased design of tiny fronds and flowers and very tiny little accent shapes filled in with red, blue, black and white enamel. The little flowers look like lily of the valley. This design that fills the complete locket front. The enamel provides definition for the very small designs that take up the left side of the locket. What is not filled in with enamel is etched and chased giving the front of the locket a great deal of texture and making it very much an eye-catcher.

The back of this circa early 1900s locket is gold filled and features an etched design with a lighthouse on the left and a water scene on the right. There is a small sailboat on the right side across from the lighthouse. All around the edge is a textured finish. At the top and at the very bottom is a nice bit of etched accent work.

The top bale is a simple round loop. This rounded oval shaped locket has two compartments or wells inside. Both have the paper backings, the frames and the glass covers that fit loosely inside.

This Victorian Era locket has the hinge on the left, and opens on the right using the two tabs that are pressed in opposite directions.

The lobster clasp on the new 22" long 14K gold filled curb chain opens and closes securely. The wonderful locket is circa late 1800s to early 1900s in age. The clasp is marked 1/20 14K GF.

Measures:
1 1/2” long (including the bale and loop) and is 1 1/3” for the locket alone. The locket is 1” wide at its widest section.

Weighs:
12.9 grams (locket and chain)
locket alone - 17.9 grams
chain alone - 5.0 grams

Condition:
The locket front is in nice antique condition with some light wear to the enamel - this would be as expected an item that is circa late 1800s to early 1900s. See photo closeups.
