Description

Beautiful Antique 9ct gold Back and Front heart Locket. This pretty heart shaped locket measure 2.3cm by 1.8cm not including the bale and decorated with a sunburst of lines. The locket is marked for 9ct back and front, which means the inner parts are not gold. The locket has two empty spaces for pictures. It is a lovely tactile object of good wearable size with a gold bale. The locket is in good condition with some minor wear to the gold in accordance with its age. I would say that this locket dates to the early 20th century around the 30s or 40s. It is a small sized locket and I have photographed on a hand and with a coin to give the scale. The inside is in good usable condition. Opens and closes well. The Total weight is 3.2g

Please Check Sizes And Weights As JEWELLERY IMAGES ARE ENLARGED. Dark areas are reflections on the gold.

Heart-shaped lockets gained immense popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as sentimental tokens of affection, often used to keep portraits or locks of hair of loved ones close to the heart.

The term back and front indicates that the front and rear panels of the locket are crafted from solid 9ct gold, while the internal frames and rims are composed of a base metal or alternative alloy for structural support.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate hallmarks or stamps such as 9CT, hand-engraved detailing, minor wear consistent with age, and traditional mechanical hinges and clasps.

An antique gold locket pairs effectively with contemporary minimalist chains for a mixed-era aesthetic, or suspended from a traditional trace chain for a classic, layered look.

Clean 9ct gold gently with a soft microfibre cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners that can damage internal components or historical patina.
