I am selling a collection of chatelaine and jewelry items as seen in the last photo and will be listing several more pieces soon so please see my other offerings and check back often : )ABOUT:
Interesting 935 (Better than Sterling) Silver locket with matte black enamel cover surrounded by a white enamel band. No ornate decorations or embellishments - smooth, simple and elegant. The back side is silver. This is an antique mourning jewelry piece from the early 1900s to Art Deco era that I acquired in Europe. It's neat that it flips downward to open with the hinge on the bottom, instead of on the side. Unique and interesting piece!
There are two frames holding small plastic films that you pull to remove the film cover to insert your photo, lock of hair or pressed flower behind.
NO MONOGRAMS.
Chain is not included. I do have some delicate sterling silver chains in 18 or 24 inch lengths available for purchase so please inquire if you'd like to add one to your order to wear this as a pendant.
MEASUREMENTS:
The piece measures 1 inch in diameter.
MARKS:
Marked 935S for better than sterling silver content. Has a maker's mark I could not identify.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition. There is some loss to the white enamel band at the bottom of the locket rom about 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock. No other issues with the enamel, the matte black looks fantastic. Some scratches to the smooth silver back. Some stubborn tarnish. Surface wear, scuffs and scratches from use and age. Hinge is still tight. The cover does open and close nicely and remains securely shut.
Please note this piece is not in mint condition.
I have many more lockets listed so please see my other items and create a set!
