Edwardian 9ct Back & Front Locket With A Bow Motif Set With Garnets & Pearls

A pretty heart shaped locket. It is 9ct37.5% pure gold (or 375 parts pure gold and 625 parts other metals) back and front which means that the hinges and inner rims are metal. The other parts are 9ct gold. It was made circa 1910. This would have been a gift of love in the early 1900s. The bow is set with garnets, for love , and pearls for eternity which literally meant “Eternal Love” and the bow meant “Tying the knot”!
