LARGE Vintage 12K Gold Filled Heart Locket Necklace: Sturdy Co. Etched Floral Keepsake Pendant with Chain

$125.00


Description:
Beautiful (and large!) 12K gold filled vintage locket in a heart shape. The front of the locket has an etched floral and leaf design. The back has a pinstripe pattern.

Inside the locket has one of the original frames and plastic insert still intact - the frame is slightly misshapen. There are room for two heart shaped photos.

The vintage locket is attached to a new 14K gold filled rope chain that is 20'' in length. The locket can be purchased with or without the chain.

Absolutely gorgeous (and unique!) piece of romantic photograph jewelry.

Measures:
Chain: 20'' long.
Locket: 1 1/4'' long by 1'' wide.

Weighs:
7.6 grams (locket with chain)
6.2 grams (locket alone)
1.4 grams (chain alone)

Condition:
In nice vintage condition for its age (circa 1930s). Some light use marks here and there and some wear is commensurate with mid century age. The inside has some tarnishing, some portions of the inside frame are bent. See photos and video for details. The chain is new and in great condition. Overall absolutely lovely vintage piece of jewelry.

Marked:
Locket is marked STURDY 1/20 12K on the attached bail.
Chain is marked 1/20 14K on the spring ring clasp.

The hallmark "STURDY" on a locket indicates it was made by J.F. Sturdy's Sons Co., an American jewelry manufacturer that specialized in gold filled jewelry. The company was founded by John F. Sturdy in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 1865.
