Reverse is intricately hand-chased with a ribbon design ready for engraving. Size is 28mm from top of bail to bottom of locket and is 20mm wide and weighs 6.61 grams. Patina on the inside and outside is appropriate for age of over 140 years. Inside the locket has glass surrounded by sturdy gold frames on both sides. Functional and snaps closed.

@wnybda Hey! Nice to meet you. I'm located south central. Way too much snow this early. Your area generally gets more than us.

@arcticbrenda yes, I've worked with many of the mushers during the races and at the camps, there are quite a few WNY people in AK! I miss it terribly 💔

@arcticbrenda 😍 Fur Rondy, only in Alaska 🎉

@wnybda Take care. I see you're having high winds and lots of snow.

@arcticbrenda Thank you, we've been preparing all week, it looks like our fun is just starting this week!🙈🎉
5 years and a bit over a week ago on our wedding day, we had a blizzard, and a special blessing from Alaska as flocks of tundra geese covered the lake below us. ❣️

Could you please just set a coin a nickel, dime or a quarter next to it?

Hi, what’s the metal ?
thebeesknees16
hi, any idea what it's made from? thanks so much!

@thebeesknees16 I am not certain, but I found a locket for sale online that was very similar in design, which was 9ct. Please note that the glass on both sides are not broken, there are no major dents, and the locket snaps closed. For being around 150 years old, it is in very good condition. Most lockets for sale have only black enamel, whereas this one has black and white enamel. Thank you for looking in my closet and for your inquiry.
