Description:
Beautiful vintage 12K gold filled locket that hangs on an 18K gold filled rope chain. This locket features etched flowers, leaves on the front with the center design of inverted V shapes. The flowers are a very subtle rose gold color. The fanned bale is decorative and has some nice embellishments that complement the locket front. The back of the locket has a pinstripe design.

The locket is on the larger side, and is hallmarked WH in one of the wells. This stands for the W&H Jewelry Company of Providence, RI that operated into the 1960s. The chain was made by the Hardie Jewelry Company of Holland, Michigan that operated there circa 1934.

There are 2 heart shaped compartments for photos inside this beautiful gold filled locket that are currently empty. The original farmes and plastic covers are intact.

The vintage locket hangs from a vintage 18K yellow gold filled chain that is 26'' in length, hallmarked and stamped HJ.

Measurements:
Chain - 26" length
Pendant: 1" wide x 1 1/8" long (not including the decorative bail, 1 5/8'' long including the decorative bail)

Approximate Weights:
15.9 grams (locket and chain together)

Condition:
Gold filled locket necklace is in nice vintage condition with wear commensurate with vintage age - circa mid century or earlier. Light use marks here or there. The edges on the back are a darker color than the pinstriped section. See photos for detail. The vintage chain is in nice condition, the spring ring clasp works well.

Markings:
The hallmark is in one of the center wells that says WH 1/20 12K.
