English Edwardian 9ct. Heart Locket with pearl and Ruby 14k 20" Curb Chain

Jewelry : Antique : Fine : Edwardian

 

This sweet gold heart locket features an unusual top, as well as split pearls and what looks to be a genuine European cut ruby. It measures 1" not including the bale or top loop, and 1 1/4' including the bale. It is marked A&C 9ct. as well as BKS & FTS on the back, which has a few minor dents. It is 9k sold gold, except for the frames which appear to be gilded brass. The picture covers are some kind of early plastic. The curb chain is 20" in length, marked 14k and although not original to the locket, certainly suits it well. I can price it for $195 without the chain for you if desired.
