I'm so pleased to offer this exceptional antique locket crafted in the Art Nouveau style around 1910. This breathtaking round pendant boasts finely decorate floral chasing which frames translucent blue enamel over meticulous engine turned engraving.
A delicate process, enamel is made by fusing powdered glass to metal surfaces through a high-temperature firing process. The intense heat melts the glass powder, allowing it to adhere to the metal and form a smooth, glossy coating; the vitreous glass shimmers beautifully in the light, changing in color from a deep turquoise to a light sky blue. The locket opens from the top, typical of the period, to reveal a double locket display within with two original frames complete with cellophane "glass" panes. A testament to exquisite craftsmanship, this locket promises to captivate admirers with its timeless charm and unparalleled allure.
CONDITION NOTES:
The enameling is in excellent antique condition and the hinge is secure. The locket closes firmly but not with a 'snap'. It does not fall open when worn casually. You'll need to treat this locket with care as the enameling will need to be protected from any dings or scrapes.
Period: Art Nouveau c. 1910
Material: 18k gold, blue enamel (owl hallmark with 75 for Paris Assay Office)
Weight: 7.40 g
Size (without bail) : 1" or 2.6 cm diameter
