Rare Georgian 9ct Gold Opaline Mourning Locket
£1,175.00
/
SKU: X5997
An intriguing and rare Georgian 9ct Gold Opaline mourning locket. This locket is a marvel, and we can hardly believe that she's existed for nearly 200 years in such exquisite condition!
The locket has been crafted from 9ct Gold, and has a sizeable bale in order to support its weight when suspended from a chain. The inside of the locket has an Opaline panel on the back, which shimmers with a soft iridescence of mauves and tangerine! Resting upon this is intricately moulded hair on both sides, which would once have belonged to very special people that someone wanted to keep very close.
We think it's incredible that a piece like this will end up in someone's jewellery box, or perhaps a collector's archive where it can be appreciated in all its glory.

EXCELLENT. This rare Georgian 9ct Gold Opaline mourning locket is in superb condition. The glass is without any scratches and the 9ct Gold is bright and buttery. There is only some small discolouration to the Gold thread inside the locket, but this is to be expected from a piece of authentic Georgian mourning jewellery and, other than this, the piece is completely pristine.

Layaway Installment Plans
A layaway is an interest-free payment plan that enables you to reserve an item with an initial deposit, and then pay the balance over 60 days.
Layaway is very popular with Lillicoco customers, particularly when making a more considered purchase.
How It Works
In total, you will make three payments over three months:
Day 1: 30%
Day 30: 35%
Day 60: 35%
Your layaway purchase is reserved for you as soon as the initial payment has been taken.
Your order is shipped once the full balance has been paid.
All of our usual terms and conditions apply with a layaway purchase, although 15% of the invoice total is nonrefundable in case of cancellation or return, acting as an administration fee.
A layaway is not a loan, nor is it a form of credit. A credit check is not required to put an item on layaway, and missing a payment will not affect your credit score.
If you do not complete your layaway on schedule your reservation may be cancelled and your payments may be refunded, minus the administration fee.
