A splendid heart shaped solid gold antique locket which was crafted by the esteemed makers, Sheldon Brothers, in the Edwardian era.
Such a romantic gift!
This high quality fully hallmarked gold locket is suspended from a stylish 9 carat gold 18 inch necklace.
This portrait locket was assayed* (tested for gold purity*) at Birmingham Assay Office in 1909.

The posterior surface is also decorated with superbly engraved ivy leaves, sinuous acanthus leaves and a single forget-me-not flower.
Ivy leaves represent strong bonds, loyalty, fidelity and friendship.
The heart shapes convey true love.
Forget-me-nots symbolise deep love and respect.
Acanthus leaves represent enduring life and longevity.
This antique English gold locket is suitable to hold two photographs, locks of hair or miniature portraits.
