The listing, Vintage or antique locket and pin has ended.
Old locked and pin from estate. Their age is unknown, but they must be at least thirty years old, probably far older. The locket is about an inch in diameter, and is stamped '14kt gold shell' on the inside. This is probably an old-fashioned term for gold-filled, which is a thick layer of gold, hundreds of times thicker than plating, over a common metal such as brass. The locket bears the image of a crescent moon and star, set with some faceted brilliants, some of which have long since fallen out. The brilliants may be paste, cubic zirconia, glass or genuine stone.
