C.1900. An oversized sterling silver heart locket that serves as a simple, timeless statement piece. Free of any personalizations, the locket remains plain on both sides—its most desirable state. The side hinge is crafted to be clean and seamless, and the interior reveals two compartments held secure by a closure that shuts with a satisfying snap. A tiny engraved number, '117,' is visible inside, most likely a stock or catalog mark from a retailer or auction house in years past.

The interior bears the maker’s mark 'W & H, Co' for the Wightman & Hough Company, an American firm established in 1856. With its strikingly large scale, the locket is very flattering when worn. Overall, the piece is in great condition.
