Vintage Round 12K Gold Filled Grapes and Leaves Locket - SAMSAN Hallmark - Sam San 1950s Pendant Estate Jewelry Old Photos Mid Century

$125.00

Description:
Lovely round, circle shaped 12K gold filled photo locket made by Samsan Company circa 1950s.

This large round locket features a raised grape cluster, leaf and vine design on the front. The top of the locket has a decorative design, largest in the center top and decreasing in size as it spreads out along the top. The back is plain with no design and has a shiny finish.

Inside the locket are two round compartments for photos with both of the plastic covers and the frames still intact. Behind one of these compartments is the hallmark stamp. This locket also has the original photos - a black and white photo of a man on the right and a woman on the left. The way the photos are positioned, it looks like they are looking and smiling/laughing with each other. Based on their glasses and clothes, it appears they are from the 1950s.

The locket closes securely with a snap. The hinge is on the left and the locket opens from the right.

The vintage photo locket hangs from a vintage 12K gold filled rolo chain that is 18.5” in length. The vintage style spring ring closure opens and closes securely.
