A superb antique Victorian Sterling silver fancy (and reversible) bookchain and locket dating to the late Victorian era.
The locket is large - 6cm x 3.5cm including the bale, with stunning appleid rose and yellow gold floral accents, to a raised central round section with highly stylised letters, and opens to reveal two compartments with her original silver rims to which two photos can be placed if desired.
The book chain is also Victorian and may or may not be original to the locket, it is irrelevant as they suit each other perfectly.
Increasingly hard to find with the associated extension drop, this one not only retains hers but the two large bolt ring clasps also!
Pierced detailing to the fancy book chain collar is simply stunning… and this entire chain can be worn to the reverse if desired.
Not too heavy and cumbersome around the neck this very elegant and wearable Victorian beauty weighs an ideal 57 grams.
Ideal for any occasion day or night, these necklaces will never go out of style.
