What fits inside these photo lockets?

Original interiors frequently contain thin metal rims and glass covers designed to hold miniature paper photographs. Buyers often trim modern printed photographs to fit the internal cavity. Some collectors store locks of hair or small fabric mementos in line with historical usage. The depth varies according to whether the locket is single or double sided.

How do I date an unmarked silver locket?

Stylistic clues such as Aesthetic Movement asymmetry or Art Nouveau curves provide initial dating points. Engraved motifs like swallows and ivy strongly suggest the Victorian period. Official hallmarks on the jump ring or inside the rim offer precise years and assay towns. Unmarked pieces rely entirely on construction methods and design context.

Can I wear a locket on a modern chain?

Most pieces feature a top loop or bail that accommodates standard silver chains. Ensure the suspension ring is secure before wearing the pendant daily. Matching the silver tone of the chain to the locket maintains a cohesive appearance. Heavier Victorian lockets require sturdier chains to support their weight safely.
