1950s Striped Enamel Locket
Cool vintage locket made in Italy in the 1950s. The striking black enamel design - reminiscent of a buckle or a Greek key over a striped background - is employed in stark contrast with the warm yellow-gold gilt finish. Green and white paste gemstones complete the Victorian Revival aesthetic. Complete with its original glass locket compartment inside (that someone has furnished with a Victorian portrait photograph of a woman).

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
