Early 20th Century 15k Gold Large Heart Locket & Chain Set

Early 20th Century 15k Gold Large Heart Locket & Chain Set

An early 20th-century large heart locket and chain set, crafted in 15ct yellow gold. The heart is free of engravings or personalization on both the front and back—the most desirable state for collectors—offering a classic and timeless look.

Upon opening, the locket reveals a secure compartment and a '15ct' stamp for 15k gold—a high-purity gold standard that was discontinued in the UK in 1932, helping to confirm this piece’s Edwardian or early Art Deco heritage.

The chain features its original barrel clasp, which remains in excellent working order. Given its generous scale, the locket provides a bold and beautiful presence. It opens and closes with a satisfying, crisp "click." Overall, both the locket and the chain are in great condition.

Heart: Approximately 45mm N-S including the bail & 33mm in width
