Antique sterling silver, rose and green gold locket
Perfect for any woman of any age, comes this very beautiful antique sterling silver, rose and green gold locket that dates from the late 1800's. Often these late Victorian era lockets are highlighted with gold and rose gold is still found today, however the much rarer green gold is rarely ever seen in modern jewellery. Rose gold is made by primarily adding copper to the gold when being alloyed resulting in the lovely warm tone to it, and today green gold is made by adding silver to the gold, however the green colour is more a soft green-yellow colour. Years ago however when this locket was made, cadmium was added resulting in a stronger colour. While never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced and used here highlights the leaves in the floral design on the front. Measuring 26.2mm by 35.6mm plus the bail at the top, inside this locket will hold two photos making this so much more special and personal. This is a lovely antique locket that even after 120 years has passed since being made, is still so beautiful and full of charm and character. Stock# ES8245 Circa: 1895 $1,850
