This Victorian-era locket, crafted by the prestigious J.M. Fisher \u0026amp; Co. of Attleboro, MA, is a testament to timeless devotion. Featuring a central cross handset with midnight-hued black paste stones, this piece embodies the \"Faith \u0026amp; Remembrance\" jewelry popularized in the late 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis locket features a traditional \"Bloomed Gold\" finish—a luxurious 19th-century acid-etching technique that creates a velvety, buttery 24k-gold-rich surface. For added buyer confidence, the exterior has been professionally verified with a Kee Gold Tester, holding a strong and consistent 14K Gold reading. This ensures a substantial layer of gold that far exceeds modern plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an authentic antique with over a century of history, and it carries its story beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\n• The Front: The midnight-black paste stones show some minor chipping upon close inspection (typical for authentic Victorian glass of this age), yet they retain a deep, mysterious luster that modern stones cannot replicate.\u003cbr\u003e\n• The Reverse: The back shows visible period wear to the gold-filled surface—a graceful patina from years of being worn close to the heart.\u003cbr\u003e\n• Mechanics: The hinge remains tight and the locket closes with a firm, secure snap.
