Description

Beautiful Antique Victorian 9ct Back and Front Locket with Birds. This is a pretty heart locket measure 35mm by 25mm not including the bale and decorated with birds, flowers and leaves on both the back and front. The locket is heart shaped with a pretty border and a fancy bow and bale. The locket is marked for 9ct back and front which means the inner parts are not gold. The locket is in excellent condition for its age with no dents or bashes and only light wear to the gold in accordance with age. It is a medium sized locket, the inside is in good usable condition with refurbished plexiglass and locket compartments on both sides. Closes well. A really great example of an antique locket. The total weight is 4.3g

A back and front locket refers to a manufacturing technique where the front and back plates are crafted from precious gold, whilst the interior rims and mechanisms are constructed from a base metal or filler for structural stability.

Victorian lockets were frequently crafted from 9 carat or 15 carat gold, often utilising rose gold hues, and occasionally incorporated gemstones, seed pearls, or intricate hand-engraved motifs.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate hallmarks or stamps such as 9ct Back and Front, hand-chased or engraved detailing characteristic of the era, and original glass internal compartments.

Antique pendants can be worn on contemporary chains for daily wear or displayed within glass cloches and shadow boxes as miniature decorative art pieces on shelves.

Clean antique gold gently using a soft microfibre cloth to avoid scratching the surface, and store the piece in a dry, lined jewellery box away from moisture and chemicals.
