Description
A circular yellow gold front locket pendant featuring elaborate hand engraving. The face of the locket is divided into two decorative fields.

Stamped into the polished field on the front are the characters 9CT FRONT. This mark indicates that the front plate of the locket is 9 carat gold, constructed over a base metal core or back.
