Lockets have been around in some form or another for hundreds of years. They emerged from jewels that might be more accurately described as vessels - meant to hold perfumes or tinctures or herbs. The locket as a holder of keepsakes - portraits (photographic or earlier), hair, and the like - rose in popularity in the 19th century and has been particularly popular during wartimes ever since, as a way to hold close to you those who are physically far. his piece ups the sentimental ante with a face decorated in forget me not flowers, a shield-shaped panel engraved with the initials "EE," and a facing pair of photos of a young man and woman.
Very good antique condition, with original photos intact. Closure and inner frames secure, photographs can easily be swapped out.
Details:
• 9k yellow gold back and front (a sheet of gold applied on both the front and back of the locket over a base metal frame), unstamped but tested
• 26.1 x 19.8 x 4.5 mm
• 3.9g
