How do I open a locket?

Most hinged lockets possess a small thumbnail notch along the side seam. Gentle pressure with a fingernail or thin tool releases the catch. Avoid forcing stiff hinges, as antique gold can distort under uneven pressure. A professional jeweller can lubricate or adjust stubborn mechanisms safely.

Can I put a photo inside?

Many lockets retain their original internal frames and transparent mica or glass covers. You can trim thin paper photographs to fit the interior cavity. Historic pieces often contained hair work or painted miniatures rather than photographs. Modern thin prints slip behind the metal bezels easily.

Fifteen carat gold is a specific purity standard containing 62.5 percent pure gold. British assay offices used this standard until the twentieth century. Pieces bearing this mark sit between 9ct and 18ct gold in composition. They offer a distinct warm yellow tone common in Victorian and Edwardian items.

How do I date my locket?

Dating relies on hallmark stamps, manufacturing techniques, and stylistic clues. Victorian and Edwardian examples often feature distinct chased motifs or specific gold purities. Comparative analysis of gemstone cuts and closure mechanisms helps narrow the production era. British hallmarks provide the most precise date markers when present.
