This vintage 9ct gold sunburst heart locket dates from the 1950s to early 1960s and features a striking sunburst design radiating from the top centre of the heart. The pattern reflects light beautifully, giving the piece a warm, glowing quality that feels both nostalgic and elegant. It hangs from a modern 9ct gold chain, creating a timeless combination that suits everyday wear or special occasions alike.

Stamped 9ct Back & Front, the locket was made using solid 9ct gold on the outer surfaces with a strengthened inner structure. This traditional British jewellery method offered both durability and affordability while maintaining the rich, golden finish that defines fine vintage craftsmanship.

Inside, the mid century locket retains its original frames and clear covers. The interior shows visible signs of age, including natural patina and surface wear, which enhance its authentic vintage character. The hinge and clasp work smoothly, ensuring the locket closes securely and can safely hold two small photos or keepsakes.
