Victorian Silver Oval Shaped Locket with Double Banded & Engraved Detail

№ 491R
Written by Olly Gerrish

A smart and impressive oval shaped locket that was made in Birmingham in 1880. It has a bold double band front and back with a rope work design in between with engraved detail on either side. The bale can take quite a wide chain through it. It opens to reveal two compartments for photographs. Lockets such as this one were worn on ornate silver collars but look far better these days worn with a good trace link chain
