A 9ct gold locket with glass panels set in a 9ct gold mount — the top section unscrewing to allow the glass panels to be removed, a photograph or keepsake placed between them. This is a locket designed for practicality as much as sentiment — the removable glass allows the contents to be changed or refreshed with ease.
The quality of the mount and the mechanism speaks to Edwardian goldsmithing at its most considered — functional design executed in fine materials.
Very good condition. No chips or cracks to glass.
Era: Edwardian, 1910
