Sweetly sentimental, this antique mourning locket was created in the mid-1800s to store a token of those gone before. On the front a forget-me-not flower is beautifully inlaid into black enamel and surrounded by small seed pearls. Victorians loved symbolism and the pearls were representative of tears while the forget-me-not flower urged the wearer to remember their loved one. The back is smooth and the interior features two sides which can be used to secure a photo. The frame of the locket is sterling silver and the craftsmanship is both important and . The locket closes very well with a strong hinge.
CONDITION NOTES:
The locket is in very good condition for age. There looks to have been a small chip to the enamel close to the closure which was painted over with black nail polish or something similar to hide the enamel loss by a previous owner. It's not obvious or visible when worn and it's necessary to look closely to notice. There is also a small chip to the enameling on the bail, not visible when worn. Check photos and video for details.
