Description: Very good vintage condition given its age. Some fine surface scratches, gold finish wear, light patina, spots of oxidation along inner circumference where both sides lock together (has been treated for verdigris as a precaution), and ageing of ruby and clear paste stones. Locket hinge and snap mechanism are secure and work well, as does the large spring ring clasp on the chain. Locket appears to hold one photo, but there is no snap frame. Locket is a stunning repousse work featuring three pansies accented by paste stones in the center. Symbolism is Victorian; style is distinctly Art Nouveau. Pansies represent platonic love, but were also used to signify secret love to avoid detection. Carefully packaged and shipped in a jewelry gift box.
