This wonderful antique locket is crafted in rich 9ct yellow gold and fully hallmarked for Chester 1917. Its crisp geometric outline is softened by ornate engraving on both sides; one side adorned with swirling foliate scrollwork, the other with a deeply etched ivy leaf design symbolising fidelity and eternal love.

The locket opens to reveal two original sepia photographs, likely of a couple from the Edwardian or early post Edwardian era, adding to the emotional resonance and historical charm. The interior retains its original frames, securely holding the portraits in place. The hallmark is clear and legible, featuring the maker’s mark C&Cs, the gold standard 9.375 and the Chester assay mark with the date letter for 1917, marking this antique locket as a true survivor of the First World War period.

This antique locket is a wearable heirloom steeped in sentiment and story. A perfect piece for lovers of antique jewellery and meaningful gifts.
