A tiny antique Victorian locket necklace with a chased initial D cover and a delicate 1/10 14K gold filled curb chain.
This petite round locket is smaller than a dime, with a beautifully chased and engraved cover featuring the initial D inside an oval shield. The front has wonderful antique detail for its small scale, with floral and geometric accents surrounding the central initial.
The back cover is polished smooth and shows small dimples from age and wear. The locket opens and snaps shut securely. The interior is in good condition with light patina consistent with age.
The locket itself is not marked. The delicate but substantial tight curb chain has a soldered metal oval tag marked 1/10 14K, indicating a heavier gold filled layer than the more common 1/20 gold filled standard.
