Perfect for everyday wear this antique locket would make a great gift to find under the tree this Christmas. The locket is 9ct gold front and back, which means the core of the locket is base metal but has a thick sheet of gold applied to either side. As a result, there is some tarnishing to the inside of the locket although the exterior looks good as new. The front of the locket has been beautifully detailed with diamonds to form a delicate bow. The locket opens and closes securely but is a little stiff in both respects. The locket comes with a gold plated chain.
