Victorian Chased Heart Locket
An attractive antique heart locket with wonderfully intricate chased engraving to the outer surfaces: swirling foliate patterns over a hatched background, and a shield to the centre of the side. It's crafted in rosy 9 carat gold throughout, having developed the most gorgeous patina over time, and offered with a period belcher chain that sports its own chased barrel clasp. The chain and pendant may or may not be original to one another, although the gold tone and patina are near-perfectly matched if not.

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.
