Vintage 9ct Gold Back and Front Heart Locket

1920 - 1940
Description

Beautiful Vintage 9ct gold back and front heart Locket. This pretty heart shaped locket measure 3cm by 2.4cm not including the bale with swirls etched into the top half of the heart. 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 excellent 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 1950s or 60s. It is a medium 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 4.4g

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

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Heart-shaped lockets gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era as sentimental keepsakes designed to hold miniature portraits or locks of hair. They continued into the 20th century as traditional symbols of affection and remembrance.

The term gold back and front refers to lockets constructed with outer decorative shells made from solid gold mounted over a base metal frame or inner mechanism. This method provided structural durability while maintaining an exterior crafted from carat gold.

Authentic pieces typically feature hallmark stamps indicating gold purity, such as 9CT or 375, alongside makers marks on the rim or loop. Look for hand-engraved scrollwork, functional hinges, and period-appropriate internal photo frames or retaining rims.

A vintage gold heart locket can be worn on a fine gold chain as a singular focal piece or layered alongside contemporary minimalist chains of varying lengths. It pairs effectively with both casual knitwear and formal necklines.

Clean the surface gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water, ensuring moisture does not enter the internal photo compartments. Store the piece in a dry cloth pouch away from direct sunlight and abrasive surfaces to prevent scratches.
