Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Locket And Book-Chain Circa 1890-1900
Increasingly hard to find with the associated extension drop, this one not only retains hers but the two large bolt ring clasps also, which enable this piece to be worn sans locket, and the extra links and second bolt ring extending the chain from 43cm to a pleasant 47cm.
Ribbed detailing to the fancy book chain collar is simply stunning, the verso is plain and of course can be worn to the reverse if desired!
Stunning floral work to the front of the locket and to the rear compartment we find a half fern type garland and space for an inscription or monogram of your choice.
The locket is large - 5.6cm x 3.3cm including the bale, and opens to reveal two compartments with her original silver rims to which two photos can be placed if desired.
Not too heavy and cumbersome around the neck this very elegant and wearable Victorian beauty weighs an ideal 42 grams.
Ideal for any occasion day or night, these antique necklaces will never go out of style.
