This antique sterling locket and chain are 19th century English. A locket has been a sentimental piece of jewelry given as a token of love for centuries. This example has a beautiful restrained design similar to the work of Castellani. The finish on the locket is a subtle matte finish with fine Etruscan wire work. It has hallmarks on the reverse for Birmingham, 1898 and a maker's mark of AER. The beautiful sterling chain has links accented with textured tops. For similar, see page 31 in Victorian Jewelry by Ginny Dawes and Corinne Davidov. The locket measures 1 3/4 inches long X 1 3/8 inches wide without the bail. The chain is 16 1/4 inches long X 1/2 inches wide. The locket opens to reveal two photos. It does not have the original glass coverings. Personal photos of choice can replace the existing ones. The locket opens and closes securely and is in excellent condition. The chain too is in excellent condition with just a fine crease on one link on the underside of the chain. It is an elegant, beautiful necklace suitable for day or evening wear. England, 1898 |
