This Art Nouveau era locket is credit to the European Jugendstil style made in Pforzheim, Germany. Pforzheim was a major European centre for jewellery production during the Jugendstil era of 1900 - 1910s.
The fancy Art Nouveau pattern of floral and ribbon flow accents the oval Garnet cabochon that is set in the centre of the front locket door.
The booklet style photo locket opens to reveal a double sided photo frame for keeping photos and keepsakes secure. This incredibly beautiful Art Nouveau locket is unmarked yet tests as 800 to 900 silver.
The locket was bought in Italy, with some minor age bumps. The locket opens and shuts securely. Dimensions: 32mm hang x 19mm wide.
