A beautifully engineered Edwardian heart-shaped glass locket.
Two glass panels to the front and back create an open frame, designed to hold photographs, mementoes or keepsakes close to the heart.
The bale unscrews to release the gold mount, allowing the glass panels to be carefully removed. Your chosen token can then be placed between the panes before reassembling and securing the bale. A wonderfully considered and practical design.
Hallmarked for Chester, 1902/3, this piece perfectly reflects the Edwardian era’s dedication to craftsmanship and detail. Now 123 years old, it remains effortlessly wearable and cool.
The glass remains in good condition with light surface wear commensurate with age, as does the mount which holds the panels securely in place. There are a couple of small nibbles to the bale, clearly shown in the photographs.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
