Exceptional detail and design are the hallmarks of this very beautiful piece of jewelry history. This heart was crafted in the lost wax method of jewelry making which requires a skilled craftsman to carve a wax model that is then later infused with molten gold and finished and polished by hand. Both the front and the back of this puffed locket have an allover tiny star motif which gives the beautiful 18KT Gold a lovely textured look from all angles. Even the bale of this gorgeous piece is hand scored gold. Interior has a compartment with 1 glass front for a special photo or keepsake. 18KT not marked but tested. 6.6 grams. 20mm wide by 23mm in height including bale. One of a kind and truly a rare piece. Add one of our beautiful chains to complete the look!
