A vintage F.M. Co gold filled oval locket necklace with finely engraved floral detail, a raised decorative frame, and a graceful custom bail.
This beautiful oval locket has a warm yellow gold filled finish and a richly detailed front. The cover features a raised border with ornate scroll accents surrounding a delicate hand engraved floral center. The engraving is finely executed, with a wreath-like arrangement of flowers and leaves that gives the locket a romantic keepsake feel.
The locket opens to reveal the original interior compartments. One side has a plain recessed area, while the other has a heart-shaped inner frame. There is some patina on the interior, while the exterior remains in excellent condition.
The locket is marked 1/20 10 KGF F.M. Co. inside a heart. F.M. Co. is associated with the Finberg Manufacturing Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts, a prolific maker known for gold filled jewelry including lockets and bangle bracelets in Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco era styles. The company is documented as F.M.Co., with an operating history beginning in 1888.
The locket is shown on a delicate flat oval link chain measuring approximately 19.5 inches long. The chain complements the scale of the locket beautifully and gives the piece a soft, wearable antique look.
