They were in business through the Art Deco era.
The enamel on the front is a robin's egg shade of blue and is in nice antique condition. The back of the locket is plain gold fill with no design. The locket closes securely.
The top bale is a simple round loop. This round shaped locket has two compartments or wells inside. One well has the original frame and a plastic cover intact. The other side has only the plastic cover.
The locket hangs on a new 14K gold filled rope chain.The spring ring clasp on the 20" long 14K gold filled chain opens and closes securely.
