A Victorian 9ct gold back and front locket set with paste stones. The locket contains two removable photo frames. Marked 9CT BACK FRONT SILVER SETTING. Back and front lockets are made from 9ct gold on the front and back with some metal parts. The front and back are entirely gold, but the inside rim, the hinge and the removable frames are gold plated silver. This was a very popular way of constructing lockets, gold is quite soft and easily bent, so the silver frame offers a bit more stability. There are a few small dinks to the back, otherwise in good condition, shuts and holds closed well. 2.8 cms (1 1/8 inches) high excluding the top mount x 1.8 cms (3/4 of an inch) wide. The locket is on a new 46 cms (18 inch) 14ct gold filled chain it is pictured on. Gold filled jewellery is much better quality than gold plated, it is made with a thicker layer of gold and won’t tarnish.
