Antique Art Deco Rose Flower Hand Painted Enamel Silver Pendant Locket

Just over 1 (excluding bail). Tests for 800 silver, enamel. A painting you can wear- yes, really!

This antique Art Deco silver locket is as stunning as a realist painting, with impressive details within the blooming, pink roses. Intricately crafted in enamel, the delicate details on the petals, leaves, and charming vase will not go unnoticed. With its classic size and round silhouette, and unique matte finish to the enamel, this piece will carry your most treasured memories close to your heart.

Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. The pair of original frames holds photos tightly in place without glass or plastic inserts. Closes firmly with a satisfying snap.

There are several different styles of enameling: guilloche (colored, transparent enamel over a metal surface with patterned grooves), champlevé (enamel fills etchings or depressions in a metal surface), plique a jour (translucent enamel fitted into open-back metal cells) and more. What makes antique or vintage enamel pieces collectible is the condition of the enamel work-is it distinct and vibrant?

Is it free from chips? Other characteristics like an elaborate pattern, unique depiction, or the use of multiple colors can add more value to enamel pieces. _gsrx_vers_1678 GS 9.8.2 (1678).
