Victorian French 'M' Locket
A wonderful locket from the late Victorian period. The locket is made from 18ct gold and has a pretty oval onyx gemstone at the centre, which has been set with a beautiful gold ‘M’. The M has a pretty pattern engraved into it and the frame around the onyx is black enamel. Inside the locket there is a hinged glass frame, classic to many French lockets, and this works perfectly to allow you to put your own photo or momento inside. The locket is lovely quality and has a good weight to it.
The chain pictured is for display only.
Details:
Materials - 18ct Gold (marked with an eagle head), Onyx, Enamel
Age - Late Victorian
Size - The locket measures approx 24mm long excluding the bail and the gold jump ring. It is around 19mm wide.
Condition - Very good. There is some damage to the black enamel towards the bottom on the front. This is not particularly visible when worn as it faces downwards. There is also a very small chip at the bottom on the back, noted for accuracy only. The M has a little repair on one stem; looks to be original to the make.
