1920s French Gold Filled Heart Locket with Glass

This circa 1920s-1930s French locket is crafted from glass and features a gold-filled metal. The heart motif has been present in jewelry since the Middle Ages and saw a surge in popularity across Europe by the 15th century. In an era where literacy was not widespread, symbolic imagery was a common way to convey meaning. Within antique jewelry, the heart carries various interpretations, representing loyalty, friendship, marital union, and more. The locket's design is simple and distinct, with a molded glass heart on both the front and back. Its rounded, full contours and balanced proportions express pure sentiment in a classic form. As an antique piece consistent with its age, this locket shows normal signs of oxidation and wear. The glass surface has several minor scratches and small chips. There is a small imperfection, within 2mm, near the edge. Please note, this is a century-old piece of jewelry, not a new item.
