About the Item

This captivating locket from the 1900s showcases the refined artistry of the Edwardian era through its beautifully carved agate cameo depicting a classical female profile. Crafted in 10 karat yellow gold, the substantial piece measures 1.5 inches by 1 inch and features intricate floral motifs surrounding the central 19x13mm cameo—design elements quintessentially characteristic of this romantic period in jewelry making. Enhanced with a later addition of a 14 karat yellow gold 9mm bail (stamped 14K), this locket weighs 20.48 grams and opens to reveal space for treasured photographs or mementos. The original glass on both interior sides remains perfectly intact. The piece displays a beautiful natural patina that has developed over more than a century, intentionally preserved rather than polished away to maintain its authentic character and collector value. The back displays multiple small dents that speak to its authentic age and history, adding character to this genuine antique piece. This locket would make a meaningful addition to any vintage jewelry collection or a perfect gift for someone who appreciates historical craftsmanship. *Locket only (no chain included)
