I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world. Please see my other offerings and thanks for stopping by!ABOUT:
Beautiful French antique curb link chain bracelet in rose gold fill with attached round locket. The locket is smooth / undecorated, very elegant. Very elegant. I have a few other chains and antique charms that could be added so please see my other offerings.
The locket has rose gold fill frames on each side and a plastic film to tuck a photo, lock of hair or pressed flower behind.
This would also be great to connect to other chains to create a necklace, It could also be used as a chatelaine or watch chain. Antique pieces that I acquired in France.
Beautiful rosy patina, the loop is marked Plaque Or Lamine indicate a process of high quality hot gold foil laminating onto brass originally created by Francois Savard of Paris in the late 1800s / early 1900s. An unusually thick layer of 14-18k gold foil over brass forms the jewelry to withstand long term wear. The French were known for their high quality gold fill fabrication methods during this time.
MEASUREMENTS:
Chain is 8 inches in length. The locket is 21mm in diameter.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition. It is 100 years old or more so there is some surface wear and scratches. The locket can be difficult to open. I needed help getting it pried apart, but the good thing is it really snaps closed tightly / securely. The plastic film inside is discoloring from age and sometimes would slide out when I tipped it upside down.
The locket has a very shallow linear impression on each side, a pinhead ding and/or ripple here or there made more notable due to the highly mirrored finish. They both have that pretty bloomed / layered gold patina under magnification. But Please note that due to age, this piece is not in mint condition.
