The tradition of designing lockets to hold photographs dates back to the middle of the 19th century. No sooner had the first photographs been printed on paper by glass carriers than the idea of being able to carry pictures of your loved ones with you was born - just as only the aristocracy and the wealthy bourgeoisie had previously been able to do with expensive hand-painted miniature portraits. This vintage locket follows in this tradition. The flat, oval-shaped pendant is made of gold with a velvety matte finish. The front cover features a glittering green emerald blossom framed by small diamond roses. It can be opened and has two frames ready to hold photographs. At first glance, the locket appears to be a work from the late 19th century. However, the details of the workmanship reveal that it was created in the last third of the 20th century. We date the pendant to the 1980s, when antiques were particularly fashionable and numerous nostalgic pieces of jewelry were made in the old style. The locket is in very good condition. It was imported to Salzburg in the years before 2001. It was probably made in Germany.
