$208.25 $245.00

Description:
Lovely antique gold filled oval photo locket on a new 14K gold filled curb chain. The front features an etched flower prong set with paste gems with leaves set with seed pearls. The single faceted red (glass) paste stone in the center of the flower with five clear paste gems all around it in the petals. Three seed pearls are set inside the etched leaves in the flower’s stem. There are a total of 6 seed pearls and 6 paste gems set in the locket front. The bale on this locket is a plain oval loop where the chain is attached.

NOTE: "Paste" stones are a type of cut glass. Paste stones were mainly produced to imitate the look of diamonds. The most commonly used material for paste was lead glass.

Inside the locket are 2 oval photo wells. One side has a tiny dried flower arrangement on a paper backing in place. The plastic cover and frame hold the dried flower in place. The other side has an old black and white photo of a very handsome dark haired man that is circa early 1900s. This photo is under a frame and a plastic as well.

The back of the locket is plain with no design. The top front lobe of the locket shows more wear and has some spots worn to the base metal - see photo closeup.

This vintage heart locket hangs from a new 20” long 14K gold filled curb chain. The locket has its hinge on the left and opens from the right. The spring ring clasp on the chain closes securely as does the locket itself.
