    Description

    I am selling a collection of chatelaine and jewelry items as seen in the last photo and will be listing several more pieces soon so please see my other offerings and check back often : )
    ABOUT:
    Interesting gunmetal gray / black locket with no decorations or embellishments - smooth, simple and elegant.  Completely reversible.  This is an antique mourning jewelry piece from the early 1900s to Art Deco era that I acquired in France.  Both sides of the locket are decorated in this manner.  It looks like it is made from oxidized silver plate with a matte finish.  I sold a similar one last year for 4 but this one has a
    weak hinge
    so it will need very gentle wear and not a lot of opening and closing, but it presents beautifully and looks great on.  Unique and interesting piece!
    There are two gold colored frames holding that you pull to insert your photo, lock of hair or pressed flower behind.
    NO MONOGRAMS.
    Chain is not included.  I do have some delicate sterling silver chains in 18 or 24 inch lengths available for purchase so please inquire if you'd like to add one to your order to wear this as a pendant.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    The piece measures 1 1/4 inch in diameter.
    MARKS:
    No hallmarks, unsure of the exact fabrication but appears to oxidized silver plate.
    IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
    Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition.   The hinge is weak with the top of it having split.  It still holds together, but sometimes when you close it, you have to make sure to line up the two sides so it closes correctly.  I tried to show this in photos.  It would need gentle wear as I would imagine with frequent opening and closing, the bottom of the hinge my detach as well.  Still Presents beautifully when closed and worn - overall the dark color is very striking and uniform.  A few spots on the back cover that are still dark but just a different tone when studied in a reflection, you can see it in photos. No dings or dents,The cover does open nicely and remains securely shut once you get the two sides lined up but careful of the old hinge.
    Please note this piece is not in mint condition.
    I have many more pieces of silver listed so please see my other items and create a set!
