Here is a gorgeous Victorian Sterling locket and book chain set dating to the 1880’s. The book chain measures 18” long and has a 5/8” spring ring that is attached to an additional 1” of book chain. An additional ½” spring ring attaches to a ½” bail which is then attached to a beautiful oval locket that measures 2” high by 1 ¼” wide by ¼ in thickness. The locket has a hand-crafted chased design with foliate details framed in a notched border design. The back of the locket is plain with a similar notched border as the front and it weighs in at 45 grams. The locket has no markings but has been professionally tested to confirm it is 100% Sterling silver. Inside the locket are 2 original sterling silver frames that can be lifted out to change the inside photographs. This particular locket has a black & white picture of a middle-aged man and a women dressed in period clothing. Interestingly the women in the picture is wearing the actual locket and book chain that is for sale here. They may be husband and wife which is speculation on my part. This beautiful authentic antique book chain and locket would make a great addition to any woman’s antique jewelry collection.
