An antique 9ct gold open face locket dating to the Edwardian era, designed with glass panels to both sides for displaying photographs or keepsakes.
The construction is particularly well executed, with the glass removable by unscrewing the top section, while a gold mount holds each panel securely in place. A practical and well-considered design, allowing contents to be easily changed while remaining neatly enclosed.
A smaller-sized example, giving it a more delicate feel when worn. The double glass design adds a slightly more unusual and personal aspect, ideal for displaying miniature keepsakes or photographs to both sides.
The glass shows light surface marks, in keeping with age, though nothing that detracts when worn.
A neat and characterful piece, with a subtle presence and easy wearability.
Presented in lovely antique condition, with light wear consistent with age.
