A charming antique locket in 9ct yellow gold featuring the distinctive screw-top design — the upper section unscrews to remove the glass panel, allowing a photograph, lock of hair or keepsake to be placed within. A personal and wearable piece of Victorian jewellery with a wonderfully practical mechanism.
The screw-top construction is more refined and secure than a conventional hinged locket, and is a hallmark of quality in pieces of this period.
Lovely antique condition with light, honest wear. The glass bears some minor surface scratches consistent with age — noted for transparency, but they do not affect the function or overall appeal of the piece. Screw mechanism works smoothly and correctly. Gold retains its warm colour.
A sweet and sentimental antique locket at an honest price — a lovely everyday piece or a thoughtful gift.
