HOT ! Antique Victorian Fancy Link Chain & Locket Necklace Chased Design c.1870 (B2386)

Description

An antique Victorian period silver locket and fancy chain. The chain is made of three elements with plain oval link, patterned oval links and round joining rings.  It is set with two large spring rings typical for the late Victorian period.  The locket is quite chunky and has a chased pattern of foliage to the front with a toothed border with dots. Opening reveals two locket compartments, one with brown fabric, one plain.  Both retaining rings are present, there is no glass.  There are no hallmarks which is typical for this period (around 1870) but the item tests as sterling silver.  Please note the chain is choker length and shorter than we usually use today (due to Victorians being much smaller than us on average) so if you wish to wear the item please check the length carefully.
