Antique Victorian Solid Silver Locket Shell & Flower Embossed Large Big Oval Pendant Picture Seashell 1800s Vintage Womens Jewelry Jewellery whitby jet brooch with it's original solid 9ctDESCRIPTION: An ornate and large antique Victorian solid silver locket, with an unusual embossed pattern on the face. I can't quite figure out what the pattern is, is it types of shells? Maybe types of flowers? The rear has a motif engraved into it. The locket opens closes well. It weighs approx. 16. 82g and the size dimensions are in the later photos. As to be expected with the items age, it isn't stamped hallmarked, it tests for high grade silver
