Antique Heart Locket
15ct Gold Tested
Circa 1900
A rare and utterly charming keepsake from the turn of the 20th century, this antique miniature puffy heart locket dates to circa 1900.
Crafted in rich, glowing 15ct gold—a prestigious historic British purity standard retired in the 1930s—the locket features smooth, tactile domed surfaces with a warm antique luster.
Designed with an unusual and clever construction, this piece hinges near the bail and opens from the bottom tip, making it a delightfully secretive vessel for a tiny memento, curled lock of hair, or miniature portrait.
Its dainty scale makes it exceptionally versatile: suspend it as a focal pendant on a fine antique chain, nestle it into a layered neck stack, or attach it to an antique charm bracelet or watch chain.
The locket measures approximately 16.1mm in height and 11.7mm in width.
Weight 1.1g
* The chain is sold separately.
