Mid 20th Century 9ct Back & Front Heart Locket with Engraved Detail

235Y
44 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A sweet 9ct back and front heart locket that was made circa 1950. 9ct back and front means that both sides are 9ct gold but the hinges and inner parts are metal. It has been engraved with a stylised fern. Ferns traditionally mean sincerity and also everlasting youth.

It hinges open to reveal two sections for a photograph and would have originally been given as a token of love.
