A charming 10k rose gold heart locket circa 1900, featuring a brightly glittering pink sapphire on the front, set in an engraved star; the back has been engraved in an elaborate font with the monogram initials "M.N.I.". Traditionally a sapphire of this color refers to joyful love and passionate devotion: wonderful sentiments towards those whose photos might be held within this keepsake.
Measuring approximately 1" north to south not including the attached bail, and 7/8" east to west. It opens to reveal space for two small pictures with one side having a glass-paned photo holder, and closes firmly with a satisfying snap. Hung from a fine antique 20" rose gold-filled curb chain.
In excellent antique condition with a light patina, but no dents or unsightly scratches. There is a circular plate for strength behind the sapphire and at some angle it's vague outline can be seen on the front. Not marked for gold content but acid tests to 10k.
