Condition: 

This antique 14K gold heart-shaped locket is in beautiful overall condition for its age, with minor signs of wear that reflect its history. The reverse side of the locket bears a few small dents and there are some light, surface scratches from normal use. These imperfections do not detract from the overall charm and uniqueness of the piece, which still retains its intricate enamel detailing and warm gold tone. Despite these minor flaws, it remains a stunning and wearable piece of history.

All of the jewelry listed here is antique and pre-owned, meaning it may show signs of wear, which is a testament to its rich history and the stories it carries. Far from being “perfect” or “brand new,” this is what makes antique pieces so special – they’ve been loved, cherished, and worn over time. I believe that these imperfections only add to their character and charm, and they’re ready for their next chapter with you. 

As with all antique jewelry, the stones may show subtle signs of wear, like surface abrasions or a natural patina, which only add to their unique character. Antique cuts and settings can differ from modern styles, contributing to their charm and individuality. Any significant imperfections or repairs will be clearly noted in the listings. Thank you for appreciating the beauty of their uniqueness!

Shipping insurance is required and INCLUDED in cost for any item over $200 to ensure your purchase is fully protected during transit.
