There is no apparent damage to the gold. The locket is 1 1/8 inches (27 mm) tall without the bales and 7/8 inches (23 mm) wide when closed. It tests for 10-12K gold. The locket weighs 8.7 grams without the glass photo and 10.3 grams with the photo. This is a stunning antique jewel with great drama and style.

The combination of the extraordinary classic gold work the stunning design is mesmerizing. Together they create a jewel worthy of the finest collection.
