Rare English Victorian Edwardian 1900 London 9K Rose Gold Plain Dual Photo Locket Pendant 🇬🇧 Typical English fully hallmarked, and I mean fully, since they leave nothing out, starting with G.V & Co for Gourdel, Vales & Company who were located in both London and Birmingham in the first quarter of the 20th century, followed by 9 .375 for 9 carat gold content, followed by a leopards head for the city of London, and last the letter e for the exact year 1900, turn of the century, so a very early gold crafted piece of theirs, which makes it even rarer ! Weighs approximately 3.1 grams altogether frame, glass covers and original photos included. Approximately 3.3 cm (1 4.5/16 inches) in height from top attachment loop, but excluding the loose circular bale, to the frame bottom, and approximately 2.5 cm (15.5/16 of an inch) in width or diameter if you will, and approximately 5 mm thick from center glass cover to opposite center glass cover, since the glass covers convex outwards. I have seen and dealt with many such lockets but most are of French origin, so finding an English one is quite a treat ! Are you of English stock or is your pet English then this is a little treasure made just for you ! Will continue........ Feel free to check my other Cool Lockets !
* One of the original glass covers has a tiny chip which gets covered by the frame, so all together in beautiful and functional condition, wouldn't you say ?
Abolish the bank of England (which isn't even English by the way), dispose of fake paper money, and restore real currencies based on precious metals, thus decentralizing power and restoring power to the people & God Bless 🇬🇧
