Vintage 1950s oval locket featuring an ornate circle design on the front of the locket and a plain surface on the back. The locket contains two areas where pictures can be framed. The locket hangs from a new 9ct yellow gold chain.
The locket is solid 9ct yellow gold on the front and the back of the locket. Lockets were made with brass interiors and hinges for strength during this period.
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.
