This stunning antique French gold locket features finely engraved florals and elegant details that smother the entire piece in elegance and French flair. It was hand crafted in France, in about 1840 of 18 karat gold. The locket measures 35.2 mm north to south and 25.5 mm across, it opens easily and care should be taken to close it (and all lockets) at the edges, not by pinching the center. This lovely round locket weighs 5.6 grams. It is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested.

The sky begins to darken early these days. To combat the darkness, twinkling lights seem to pop up everywhere you go, brightening up the edges. Garnets live for this kind of light, every facet glitters, glowing and flashing like diamonds dipped in rich cabernet. Let them play in candlelight, let them frolic in firelight or strut their stuff in the twinkle lights on your tree.
This is a beautiful and unusual garnet locket, it isn’t set with the traditional rose cut bohemian garnets, and it’s not set with the true flat cut garnets of the Georgian era, rather it set with these very rich and very bright flat square cut garnets, some forty-nine (49) in all. When you add up the carat weight in glittering stones it’s about 16.5 carats. The stones form a lovely pattern on the front of this wonderful locket backed pendant, on the reverse is a locket with glass in a low karat gold, garnet gold frame, this gold tests as about 8 karat. The pendant is beautifully crafted and measures 59.6 mm top to bottom and 29.1 mm across, it is 14.35 mm deep. This wonderful piece is unmarked but tests as garnet gold, it weighs 12 grams. The garnets are generally in very nice condition, a few have very tiny flea bites that are visible with magnification,
