An impressive and unusually large antique Edwardian open-face locket, mounted in 9ct gold and dating to 1905. This striking piece features glass panels to both the front and back, housed securely within a solid 9ct gold mount. The clever construction allows the top section to be unscrewed, enabling the mount to separate so the glass can be removed and photographs or keepsakes placed inside with ease.
A wonderful example of Edwardian craftsmanship, this locket offers generous space for display and has a strong visual presence when worn. Both sentimental and practical, it is perfect for holding treasured photographs while making a bold antique statement.
