Antique 9ct Gold Glass Photo Locket, Birmingham 1917

£225.00

A lovely antique 9ct gold glass photo locket dating to 1917. Circular in design with a beautifully simple gold frame, this piece is fitted with glass to both sides and retains its original screw closure, which remains fully functional over a century after it was made.

Glass lockets such as this were often used to hold photographs, locks of hair, pressed flowers or other treasured keepsakes. The clean, timeless design feels just as wearable today as it would have done in the early twentieth century.
