$185.00


Description:
A gorgeous (and large!) Art Nouveau gold filled photo locket on a 14K gold filled chain. The front features a repousse (raised) silhouette of a woman with flowing hair and clear "paste" stones/rhinestones adding some bling to the bottom portion of the locket. The back of the locket has the swirling cursive monogram letters "COD" from left to right.

This shiny round locket is hallmarked W&H Co. - the Wightman and Hough Company of Providence, RI - see NOTE below.

There are two round photo wells inside the locket - one on each side of the antique pendant. The wells are empty and ready for your photos to be placed inside. The plastic photo covers and frames are still intact. The frames have some small indentations from use.

NOTES:
+ The hallmark inside the locket stands for the Wightman & Hough Co. This jewelry company was established in 1856 in Providence, Rhode Island. W&H manufactured a variety of gold filled, rolled gold, and sterling silver jewelry. Their jewelry was hallmarked with a heart with the initials “W&H CO” inside. The company was known for their lockets, medallions, and seals, and made these items through the early 1920s.
+ "Paste" stones are a type of cut glass. Paste stones were mainly produced to imitate the look of diamonds and other precious gemstones. The most commonly used material for paste was lead glass.

The vintage locket hangs on a new rope chain, 20” long that is marked as 14K gold filled. This locket can be purchased with or without the chain.
