English Edwardian Hallmarked Solid Gold Mourning Locket 1910 Initials H / J C / H C / I C
An elegant English Edwardian fully hallmarked solid gold mourning locket which was tested for gold purity at Birmingham Assay Office in 1910. Stylish engine turned designs grace both sides of the locket. The front is decorated with a shield cartouche which contains letters which are so ornate that they are open for interpretation. As you can see the inscription could read as H, H C, I C, J C.
The shield cartouche symbolises the desire of the donor to protect the recipient. The hallmarks are unworn and easy to read. The maker is Albert Earnest Jenkins.
The original sepia photograph, frames and portrait protectors are present. Image ten shows the original lock of hair. The clasp and hinge work perfectly.
We have included an ornate necklace so this locket can be worn immediately.

We understand how time consuming it can be to source a gold locket because so many of the lockets for sale are rolled gold or gold plated.
To save you time we only source fully hallmarked gold lockets aged over 100 years.
You will not see rolled gold, gold plated or gold back & front lockets in our stores.
We include images of the hallmarks and so you can be certain of the antiquity and purity of the antique gold lockets in our store.
