Please remember that due to your computer’s screen settings, in real life the item may not match the colour you see here. My photos are NEVER to scale so please check the actual measurements below. Here I have a fine example of an antique Austro-Hungarian solid silver locket pendant. It’s double sided, what’s known as a day and night locket, as you could turn it round for a different look in the evening. The front is set with Persian turquoise cabochons in a diamond shaped design, with freshwater pearls in the centre and little flower shapes to the outside. The other side is set with flat-cut garnets and pearls, with further silver flowers between. The bale also features turquoise and pearls and it can turned so it sits at the front for both sides of the locket. Inside, the locket is gilded and there’s room for 2 pictures, behind the original glass slip covers and removable silver frames. It’s marked with Austro-Hungarian hallmark and maker’s stamp on the ring holding the bale. The main body of the locket (without the bale at the top) measures 3.2cm long. With the bale at the top, it’s total length is 4.3cm. It weighs 19.7 grams. Condition: Very good uncleaned antique condition. The hinge and closure work perfectly and it snaps shut nicely.
