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 an antique solid silver locket pendant. It’s beautifully engraved on the front with a floral design, surrounded by a 9k rose gold border, with silver beading running around the edge. It has a good sized bale and inside, there’s room for 2 photos – one side has it’s original removable frame, the other does not but if you cut the pic to the right size, there’s a little lip of silver it will sit behind and it will stay put. As with many antique pieces, it’s unmarked but tests as solid silver. The main body of the locket (without the bale) measures 4.5cm high and 3.9cm wide (including the silver beads on the edge). With the bale, it’s total length is 6.5cm. It weighs 24.3 grams. Condition: Very good uncleaned antique condition. Has a couple of very light pressure marks but they’re only noticeable on very close inspection. The hinge and closure work perfectly; it snaps shut and stays closed. Overall, it just has the usual light surface marks and tarnish to the silver which you’d expect on an antique item. International buyers PLEASE READ.

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 an antique solid silver and enamel cone shaped locket or pill box pendant. It’s decorated with white Guilloche enamel not blue or grey as it seems in the photos! , with handpainted roses and leaves running around the edge. The lid hinges open and inside, the silver has been gilded to give the impression of solid gold. It’s hallmarked on the ring at the top, the numbers are a little tricky to make out, it’s either 800 or 900 grade silver and we believe it to be French in origin. This shape of locket is highly unusual, the first I have come across. The main body of the pendant (without the bale or loop at the top) measures 3.5cm high and 2.3cm wide. With the bale, it’s 4.2cm long. It weighs 10.1 grams. Condition: Very good uncleaned antique condition. There is one chip to the enamel which has taken away one of the roses on the top section but it’s only really noticeable on close inspection (illustrated with the pink arrow in the last photo). There are no other chips, cracks or damage to the enamel. The hinge and closure work perfectly and it snaps shut and stays closed. The gilding inside is very bright and clean; there are a few very small roman numerals that a past owner has scratched into both the top and bottom inside near the rim. Overall, it’s in lovely order.

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 an extremely unusual antique Victorian solid silver locket pendant. The design features an overlaid 9ct rose gold parrot (a cockatoo I believe), which is sitting on a perch with potted plants to either side. The overlaid silverwork at the top of the locket resembles drawn curtains and so gives the impression of peeking through a window into somebody’s lounge! Inside, it appears to be designed to hold a photo within the top part (behind a little lip in the silver) and the bottom half would be left empty, possibly meant for the engraving of initials or a hidden message within the locket. As with many antique pieces, it’s unmarked but tested and guaranteed solid high grade silver. It dates from circa 1880-90. The main body of the locket (without the bale) measures 4.3cm high and 3.5cm wide. With the bale, it’s total length is 5.4cm. It weighs 18.6 grams. Condition: Very good uncleaned antique condition. No dinks or damage. Hinge and closure work perfectly – you have to push it quite hard to shut the locket but it then stays very firmly closed. There are no innards but as mentioned above, a photo would stay in place in the front half and the back half looks like it was never designed to hold one. The bale doesn’t look original but it’s a good replacement in that it’s soldered closed and is large enough to accommodate most chains. Overall, it’s in lovely order with just the usual light surface marks to the silver which you’d expect on an antique item. International buyers PLEASE READ.
