Our antique Edwardian locket is plain on the front and back, set in 9ct rose gold. The round locket opens to reveal two areas pictures could be placed. The locket hangs from a new 9ct gold chain.

The locket has a number of marks indicating the piece was hallmarked in Birmingham, England in 1915 from 9ct gold.

The Locket is perhaps the most mysterious and alluring pieces of jewellery. Only the wearer knows what secrets lie within the locket. It has to be the ultimate love token. During the Victorian era, young Victorian women would hide a picture of a man they admired, if the man offered up a lock of hair a marriage proposal usually would follow. Lockets were considered a statement of an intention to marry.
