AGE OR ERA: Authentic true antique / vintage jewelry piece - estimating 1920's to 1940's in age

MARKINGS: None that I could find

METAL / MATERIAL: Yellow gold plating over a brass base

CLASP / CLOSURE: None - stretch to slide on and wear. The locket is hinged on one side and has a small indentation or a finger nail catch to open it on the other side. You get to decide which is the top or the bottom as well as the orientation for your photos or tiny mementos

MEASUREMENTS: Band is about 5/8" wide and the circular locket is about 7/8" in diameter. Forgiving fit due to the stretch - should fit just about anyone

WEIGHT: x

TESTING: x

U.S. RING SIZE: x

ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, &/or LORE: These are enjoying a surge in popularity due in part to Ms Keely Jones from the Ted Lasso television series - she often sported a heart shaped one and paired it with many outfits from sweats to formal dresses and everything in between

CONDITION: Good vintage condition - no major flaws or damage. Some plating wear mainly on band - I think it is lovely in this case.... it adds to the vintage charm and also allows one to enjoy the brass tones. Some slight loss of stretch recovery or resiliency from time and use - but still functions fine and looks great. The center piece has its finish very well intact and the locket hardware functions nicely. In well above average condition, in my opinion. In an excellent state of preservation

INVENTORY NUMBER OR NOTE: WNR23

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
