Antique Aesthetic Movement Sterling Silver Locket Pendant: Rose Gold Fan, Diamond Shape

This exquisite diamond-shaped locket, a masterpiece of the Aesthetic Movement, was meticulously handcrafted in the 1800s. Its timeless design features a raised and intricately detailed Uchiwa Japanese fan plated in rose gold, creating a stunning three-dimensional effect. This rare locket perfectly embodies the artistic elegance of the period.

Condition
This antique locket is in remarkable condition for its age, showcasing light superficial scratches consistent with over 100 years of history. The hinge remains sturdy and secure, ensuring a firm snap closure. The interior features two original sterling silver frames with thick oval acetates, designed to securely protect cherished photos.

While there are no repairs, a tiny, barely noticeable ding is present on the backside. This minor imperfection does not detract from the locket's beauty or integrity. The piece has a subtle patina, highlighting its vintage charm. It has not been professionally cleaned, as this is left to the discretion of the new owner. I have gently wiped it with a soft jewelry cleaning cloth.
