Description

Beautiful Circular Antique 9ct rose gold Locket. This is a pretty locket measuring 2.5cm by 2.5cm not including the bale and decorated with scrolls and swirls and an empty cartouche on the front. There is a pretty design both back and front and a hallmark for 9ct gold back and front which means the fittings and sides are not gold. The locket is in very excellent condition for its age with some light wear to the gold but no dings or dents and also in excellent original condition inside. Ready to use inside with two photographic compartments. It is good medium sized useable locket with a gold bale. Opens and closes well. Total weight is 4.4g

Photographs are ZOOMED with x5 magnification. SO Please Check Sizes And Weights before purchasing as JEWELLERY IMAGES ARE ENLARGED!! Dark areas are reflections on the gold.

A back and front locket refers to a traditional manufacturing technique where the front and rear plates are made of solid gold, whilst the internal rims and hinge components are base metal or filled, a common practice in Victorian and Edwardian jewellery to ensure structural integrity while keeping the piece affordable.

These pieces were typically constructed from nine-carat gold, often featuring rose or yellow hues achieved through specific copper alloy ratios, and decorated using hand-engraving techniques such as engine turning and repousse.

Authenticity is usually verified through hallmarks or stamps indicating the gold carat, traditional clasp mechanisms, hand-cut engraving styles, and appropriate age-related wear on the metal surfaces.

While personal accessories are worn rather than placed in interiors, they can be displayed within home settings by resting them inside glass-topped jewellery trays, vintage display boxes, or styling them alongside trinket dishes on dressing tables.

Preservation involves storing the piece in a dry, soft-lined jewellery box away from other items to prevent scratching, cleaning gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage historic alloys and internal hinges.
