that matches the condition of this century genuine Antique Victorian fob
locket, most likely English in origin. It is double sided so is perfect to
enclose small pictures of loved ones to wear close to your heart. The quality
construction is obvious.
It is so elegant and of classic design and styling.
Each side features a different stone – Carnelian and layered black and white
Agate – superbly framed by the fancily shaped body with its prong-like claw settings.
It is hinged at the top and it is here that the ribbed hanging bail is attached
ready to attach a favourite necklace to.
Inside houses the original frames/bezels, backing
papers and a glass cover. The hinge and clasp are in perfect working order with
a stiffness equated to having been used very little.
COLOUR It
has that silky smooth feel of solid carat gold and to be expected of Quality
antique jewellery. It has a warm, rose gold hue so much nicer than the
pictures suggest.
