    Description

    I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world.  Please see my other offerings and thanks for stopping by!
    ABOUT:
    Sweet little double sided locket pendant in the form of a seashell.  Very lifelike design.  This is an antique piece that I acquired in France.
    Figural design would make a neat collectible item that can be used on a daily basis - an excellent gift for yourself or a friend!
    NO MONOGRAMS on the piece.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    Little locket - 17.5mm by 16.5mm.
    HALLMARKS:
    Marked on the loop with a rectangle stamp that I could not decipher but tested and guaranteed solid silver.  Possibly the French weevil mark?
    CONDITION NOTES:
    In estate condition considering age and has been hand polished and cleaned up nicely with the perfect amount of age appropriate patina on the outside.  Some stubborn tarnish here and there.  A shallow pinhead ding here or there that appears like a small ripple on the surface of the shell.  Surface wear, scuffs and scratches.  Hinge is still tight and lid opens and snaps closed securely.   Like all my estate items -  please note that while the piece is sturdy and has many years of use left, it is not in mint condition.
    A very decorative AND useful item!
    Thanks for stopping by!
