14K Gold Amethyst Victorian Photo Locket, Napoleon III sentimental Locket with glass door

This exquisitely crafted, one-of-a-kind photo locket is a breathtaking work of art. Lockets are such sentimental pieces; they hold our most precious memories or gifts close to our hearts. Gently pressed flowers fill this lovely glass frame, which must have been very special to have been kept so carefully. The glass is held securely by a high quality 14k frame which is engraved with floral detailing and bears lovely green gold leaves that fan out underneath the flowers. Embedded into the frame are ten old cut amethysts which have an open back to shine beautifully in the light. There is wear to the facets under magnification, which is not visible when worn, and which is consistent with age and wear. The hinge at the back of the locket opens and closes easily and is in very good condition. I've left the antique old gold patina and have only very light passed over a cotton cloth but would be happy to clean more thoroughly before shipping on request. There are a few scratches to the surface of the glass, but nothing which takes away from the beauty of this lovely piece. I found no hallmarks due to age and wear but have acid tested in multiple places for 14K purity, which is how it was sold to me from a reputable dealer. A real beauty to treasure for years to come.
