Description:
Beautiful vintage 12K gold filled round locket with a raised floral design on the front that hangs on a 12K gold filled rope chain. The inside of the locket is empty, and is ready to hold two of your photographs. The flower on the hand made locket is in the very center and there are leafy fronds that extend in four directions around it. All around this shape are curved lines that flow around the remainder of the locket front. The back of the locket is plain with no design and it has a shiny finish.
This sweetheart locket is an amazing find - it is circa 1940s but is new - New Old Stock (NOS). It is one of the lockets off of a display board that came from an old jewelry shop. See the last photo of the display board that shows off the shiny Fisher lockets from the mid century (see the woman in the classic dress showing off her quality Fisher locket).
There are two wells on the interior for photos. The frames are still intact. The locket closes securely with a snap.
The vintage round locket with the raised floral cover is circa 1940s in age.
The vintage locket is attached to the original vintage 12K gold filled rope chain that is 30'' in length. This is opera length.
What is “New Old Stock”? New old stock (NOS) is a term used to describe items that while vintage, are new and unused, as they have never been sold to a customer. NOS items are often still in their original packaging and may no longer be manufactured (as is the case with these vintage lockets).
NOTE: The JMF Jewelry Company was founded by John M. Fisher and Charles R. Harris in 1879. Originally known as Harris and Fisher, in 1885 the company became the JM Fisher Company, hence the JMF. The company operated until 1949 in Attleboro, MA.
This style of necklace is commonly referred to as a "sweetheart" locket. They were popular gifts during the WWII Era, and were often given by soldiers to their sweethearts.

Condition:
In nice vintage condition. New old stock - the envelope backing was opened by me to inspect the chain. The locket is still attached to the original backing! Little to no wear on the locket. (Any wear would be from storage over the years.) This vintage locket is circa 1940s.
