A beautiful mid-late Victorian 15ct gold (tested) and cabochon garnet locket with gold bead and wire work decoration and glass locket back. I’ve tried to show the locket in different lights in the photos to show the garnet’s different hues.
 
Condition: Front - four little gold beads are missing, garnet in great condition, surface scratches to the gold and minor tiny dents around the circumference. Back - two historically added strips of gold (the piece likely started out as a brooch, the fitting removed and a bale added), scratches, dimples, denting and buckling to the gold. Chip to the underside of the glass (smooth on top). Please see photos - wear commensurate with age and it’s still a beautiful pendant!
