This Very Rare & Stunning, Antique locket is a quality-made piece without doubt and I am sure you’ll agree when you see its true beauty in person! Amazingly, it presents as superbly as any Antique can. It features delightful shield-like shaping with the bail as extension of the body of the locket. Its magnificent symmetrical design is studded with royal blue and clear paste brilliants. The pictures really do provide the best description of all!

The back is plain and smooth and inside houses both the original frames and clear covers! The hinge & clasp are in perfect working order and fingernail tabs to assist in opening. It is very secure.

It has the silky smooth feel usually only associated with solid carat gold and expected of quality antique jewellery with that shiny mirror-like sheen of sterling silver.
