This stunning heart shaped locket is entirely made of 9ct Yellow gold which is quite rare as most lockets of the day had metal internal frames. Ruby is the symbolic gemstone of the heart so this would be the locket to keep an image of your most loved and treasured. The Pearl symbolises protection so this locket says 'protect the heart'. It also features a hallmark from the year it was made which dates it to the Edwardian period. Antique Ruby and Seed pearl Heart locket. Circa. 1907
