Antique Gold Filled Starburst Locket on Antique Watch Chain – 16.5 Inches

An exceptional antique gold filled oval locket featuring a dramatic diagonal satin-finish band adorned with a finely detailed starburst set with a presumed paste stone at its center.

The contrast between the soft matte center panel and the richly embossed floral scrollwork creates depth, warmth, and unmistakable early craftsmanship. The design feels romantic yet structured — a piece that carries both sentiment and strength.

The locket is in excellent antique condition. The hinge is strong and the closure functions properly with a secure snap. Both interior frames remain intact and ready to hold photographs.

Please note: I intentionally do not polish or aggressively clean the interior compartment. While each piece is carefully restored, interiors of antique lockets can trap moisture or cleaning agents. Even with thorough air compressor drying, it is simply not worth the long-term risk to the piece. Preserving structural integrity always comes before cosmetic perfection.

This locket has been thoughtfully paired with a beautiful antique gold filled watch chain measuring 16.5 inches, creating a cohesive heirloom necklace that layers beautifully or makes a statement on its own.
