The locket has a number of marks indicating the piece was imported into the UK, set in 9ct yellow gold. The locket does not have a date but it most likely from the 1970s-1990s.
The Locket is perhaps the most mysterious and alluring pieces of jewellery. Only the wearer knows what secrets lie within the locket. It has to be the ultimate love token. During the Victorian era, young Victorian women would hide a picture of a man they admired, if the man offered up a lock of hair a marriage proposal usually would follow. Lockets were considered a statement of an intention to marry.
