An early 20th century silver heart-shaped locket set with a pretty pink paste cabochon. Likely originating from continental Europe, the design is typical of Jugendstil (Germanic Art Nouveau) and early Art Deco sentimental jewellery. The front has a very lightly hammered finish and the back is satiny smooth, it''s quite tactile.
SIZE: 2.5 x 3cm, not including the top link.
WEIGHT: 5.6g.
MATERIALS: Silver, paste gemstone.
HALLMARKS/STAMPS: Stamped 800 (silver fineness) and CW on the bail.
CONDITION: The locket is in very good antique condition with normal surface wear for its age. The hinge and clasp are in good working order - the clasp is quite a fiddly one, we found it easiest to open with the end of a pin, but then it''s definitely shut securely to keep your treasured pictures safe!
ERA: Estimated 1900-1925.
