A delightful antique Victorian 9ct gold front and back locket crafted in c.1880 with stunning foliate hand engraving to both the front and back!
The font features a charming Ivy chasing along with a blank cartouche on the reverse.
The locket is very well made and of excellent quality. The inside has a perspex panel to store a photo or other keepsake.
The locket is unmarked, however the front and back panels are made of 9ct (9ct front and back). This was common during the Victorian and Edwardian periods to help strengthen and keep its structural integrity by incorporating a stronger base metal in the frame.
