{"product_id":"antique-art-nouveau-gold-gilt-whimsical-botanical-heart-locket-pendant","title":"Antique Art Nouveau Gold Gilt Whimsical Botanical Heart Locket Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautiful antique heart locket dating to the Art Nouveau period, circa 1900 - 1910. The front is decorated with wonderfully detailed scrolling botanical engraving, almost entirely covered in softly curling vines and fluffy looking leaves that flow naturally across the surface. The design has a very romantic Art Nouveau feel to it, full of the gentle botanical whimsy and flowing natural forms that defined jewellery of the era. The slightly puffed heart shape gives the piece a lovely warmth and softness in the hand, while the engraving still catches the light beautifully despite its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in gilt metal over a brass base, this is the kind of affordable antique jewellery that has become increasingly difficult to find with genuine age and character still intact. Pieces like this were often worn close to the heart as sentimental keepsakes, holding tiny photographs, pressed flowers, or personal mementoes inside. There is something especially charming about the softened finish and flowing botanical detail, giving the locket a real sense of history and quiet romance that modern pieces rarely capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is space inside the locket to add two small photographs of your own. The original inner frames are no longer present, however this does not affect its use and photos can still be placed inside easily, as demonstrated by the floral paper inserts currently fitted. The locket opens from the left side and snaps shut with a satisfying click.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very wearable antique piece with a romantic old world feel to it, perfect layered with other chains or worn alone as a small statement piece. It retains all of the warmth and charm that makes early lockets so loved over a century later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICS:\u003cbr\u003eMetal: Gold tone \/ gilt over base metal\u003cbr\u003eSize: 2.7 cms tall (including the bail loops). 2cms tall (not including the bails)\u003cbr\u003eAge: Circa 1880, late Victorian era\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 5.3 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn very good antique condition, with light surface wear, faint scratches, and tarnish, as to be expected from an old item.
