There is something so special and personal about a photo locket and there is
something even more special when the locket is an antique one that you know is a
one-off, and here is a truly delightful gold antique locket with the most
sensational enamel work on the front that will always be admired and
cherished.
Made in 14ct yellow gold in the early 1900's, this antique locket
measures 23.5mm across and is the perfect size to wear all the time.
The enamel technique on the front is called Guillochè enamel, which is when a very intricate and precise engraving is carved into the metal, in this case the gold, then the enamel fired over the top resulting in a magnificent pattern and depth to the piece which is stunning to look at and admire.
Like
many antique pieces of jewellery with enamel, it is not just a matter of enamel
on the front of the locket, rather it is the intricate detail that makes this
antique locket so special and unique.
And as if the design on the front
wasn't enough, the locket is set with a natural pearl in the centre for even
more charm and character.
The reverse side of the locket is plain,
showing the rich colour of the yellow gold and could even be worn this way in
the front as it looks so elegant and simple in its own right.
An antique locket around your neck is a delightful way to hold a photo of someone close to
you even closer to your heart, and this is a wonderful enamelled antique locket
that is simply perfect.
