Victorian Enameled 15K Gold Locket Pendant, English Date 1867 Antique Jewelry morning and being a very wearableI bought this lovely locket in Amsterdam, but it was most likely made in England. I just fell in love with the wonderful design, a greek key motif and cross in rich dark blue enamel against a background of beautiful detailed engraving. This handcrafted locket is inscribed on the back with the initials EB and Aug 1867. The inside has two frames but no glass. The locket tests as 15 karat gold, while the top jump ring and inside frames are in 9 karat.
