£340

More Information
The gold edge bordering the blue enamel is uneven and a little sharp in places meaning it has a compressed leading edge. On the obverse side, again, the thin band of gold bordering the locket centre has a small loss. There are minor surface scratches visible through a 10x loupe. The enamel is in good condition, the hair is good and the initial work is good.
