Rare 14k Gold Antique Victorian Large Puffy Heart Double Photo Locket 4.7 Grams
Antique Victorian heart shaped double locket in 14K Gold with two heart shaped 14K gold frame inserts, with original heart shaped glass, so the locket holds two photos. Measures 1 inch wide, 1 inch long, is 1/2 inches thick, and weighs 4.7 grams without the glass and frames, 8 grams total with the glass. Note the dents from years and years of use. The gold is a little thin in the back and looks as if the original owner pressed the back frequently, perhaps to close it. Gold was still very scarce in the Victorian era, until the gold mines were discovered in Africa. Real gold, not plated, was owned primarily by the wealthy, and that gold was usually of lower purity such as 9 or 10 Karat. It is even more rare to find something in 14K from that time period. The flower on front looks like it has some of the wire petals that surround the central bead missing. There are hallmarks inside, around the pin that holds the flower in place. One rectangular mark contains the letters VS, there is a letter C in a square that I think has clipped corners, and a third mark that I just cannot discern. I think the marks may be from the UK but it is only a guess, and I do not know if any of the marks indicate the purity of the gold. We did have it tested and guarantee it is at least 14K.
