This antique double sided locket pendant is made of fully hallmarked 9ct gold and dates from 1918. The locket is the same on both sides: each side has a circular glass cover and contains removable images. The gold has a lovely rich, mellow tone. The locket is undone by unscrewing the top bale which then opens the frame and releases the two glass covers and contents; a photo / lock of hair can then be fitted inside before securing the gold frame again by screwing up the bale.
The locket has a diameter of 2.7cms and it weighs 3.7g
The bottom rim of the locket is stamped ‘9’ and ‘375’ for 9ct gold, along with hallmarks showing that it was made in Chester in 1918. There is also a maker’s mark.
This locket is 108 years old and is in very good condition for its age, with no damage and showing just very light signs of age / general wear. There are no dents to the gold and the glass covers are in very good condition.
