Description

A splendid Edwardian antique fully hallmarked solid gold portrait locket which was assayed (tested for purity) at Birmingham Assay Office in 1908. Both sides are embellished with acanthus leaves and forget-me-nots. Acanthus leaves symbolise everlasting life. Forget-me-nots represent true love and respect.

The interior locket is lined with beautiful pale green moire, both portrait protectors and the original frames.

This piece is suspended from an ornate necklace.

We understand how time consuming it can be to source a gold locket because so many of the lockets for sale are rolled gold or gold plated.

To save you time we only source fully hallmarked gold lockets.

You will not see rolled gold, gold plated or gold back & front lockets in our stores.

We include images of the hallmarks and so you can be certain of the age and purity of the antique gold lockets in our store.
