Locket is 1 ¼" in diameter and ¼" deep. It is slightly convex on both sides. The bale is stamped "935," which is a silver fineness mark a step finer than sterling and most often used in Europe, particularly Austria/Hungary or Germany. I am not positive that the locket itself is silver, but the edges have the same patina as the bale, which makes me think it is also silver. Condition-wise, the enamel shows almost no wear--a very minor and tiny scratch or two on the back that is difficult to see without a loupe. The mirror needs to be re-silvered or replaced and the puff is deteriorated. The hinge of the locket top is slightly loose, so that sharp tapping will spill a few grains of powder. I would be inclined to discard the powder and puff and use this for a photo locket, but that is up to the new owner. This piece is in very good vintage condition.
