Antique sterling silver locket highlighted with rose and green gold
Quite often antique jewellery and can be so charming, and this is evident in this very sweet and beautiful antique locket with an image of a bird on the front. Made in sterling silver, the image of a bird on a branch about to eat a dragonfly, is made even more special with the bird and the branch highlighted on rose gold and the leaves in green gold. Gold can be made in different colours by being alloyed with other metals, such as to produce rose gold, it is made by primarily adding more copper to the gold when being alloyed resulting in a lovely warm tone to it, and today although not very common, green gold is made by adding silver to the gold, however the green colour is more a soft green-yellow colour. However in the late 1800's, cadmium was added resulting in a stronger colour, and while never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced and is used perfectly here to highlight the leaves in the design. The design combined with the rose and green gold all come together perfectly to make this such a beautiful antique locket from a bygone era. Measuring 33.8mm across by 43.2mm or 59mm to the top of the wide bail, inside it will hold two photos and is so beautiful to wear all the time. This is such a wonderful and unique example of a late Victorian locket, that will certainly always be noticed and admired. Stock# ES9064 Circa: 1895 $Sold
