This is a stunning, vintage oval locket necklace made in Italy. The large oval locket is gold toned metal with a black enamel finish. The center is set with a floral micro-mosaic inside a green stone. The mosaic measures 31mm x 24mm wide. The locket measures 48mm x 37mm. It hangs 2 1/2″ long from the top of the bale. The double chain is gold toned and measures 18″ long. There is obvious wear to the black enamel. Around the green stone, there was once a ring of tiny seed pearls. Most of them are missing now and there is green verdigris in that area. This verdigris can be cleaned off with gentle care. The locket will hold 2 pictures inside. The locket is marked ITALY behind the frames.
This is a vintage, previously owned necklace. Therefore, light vintage wear can be expected.
