A 9ct gold heart locket with a starburst design to the front — the geometric, radiating pattern a clear nod to the Art Deco aesthetic that remained influential in British jewellery design well into the 1950s and 1960s. The starburst gives the piece an energy and modernity that plain heart lockets of the period lack.
Space for two keepsakes within — both bezel inserts present.
Era: Vintage, c.1960
Hallmarks: '9ct Bk & FT'. 9ct gold for the front and back panels. This means the rest would be made up of a base metal which was a common structure for lockets during this period.
