This 14 Kt gold heart locket must have been a very special Love Token gifted around the turn of the century. What makes this heart locket covetable? It is larger than most and has a lovely soft and rich bloomed gold finish.

Antique gold heart lockets in good condition and in this size are becoming harder to find. One side is plain, the other side has the beautifully engraved initials: JN.
