Details

Early 20th-century Art Nouveau sliding locket in 14 karat yellow gold, the front with a fine lily of the valley motif grain set with nine rose-cut diamonds, each estimated H colour, total 0.03 carat. The locket is asymmetrical in form and opens via a sliding mechanism to reveal two internal compartments for photographs or a relic, both retaining their inner frame inserts to secure contents.

The reverse is plain and highly polished, suitable for engraving if desired. A simple yellow gold bale allows a fine chain to pass through; the bale shows signs of use and wear yet remains serviceable. Unmarked for maker or origin but tests as 14 karat gold. Sourced in America and likely manufactured in North America during the first decade of the 20th century.
