VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT. This antique Edwardian 15ct Gold Platinum rose-cut Diamond locket is in very good to excellent condition. The locket frame is intact, allowing you to place an image securely inside. Whilst there is some light wear to the occasional Diamond, overall, the rose-cuts are incredibly bright and have a fierce fire! The settings are open-backed which allows a lot of light to come through, whilst the fine millegrain edge adds a fabulous feminine touch. There is a lovely contrast between the 15ct Gold and Platinum, whilst the original bale is a real treat, and the gorgeous grooved back is so typical of the timeframe. The divine Diamonds are likely a little older than when the locket was made, but each possesses a gorgeous glow.
*Please note that the "lover's eye" image inside has been added by us, and is not original to the piece. It is a homage to Bridgerton and the gorgeous Georgian era miniature portraits that were typical of the late 1700s to early 1800s. It is not an authentic Georgian portrait and can easily be removed.
