Antique Victorian Gold-Filled Pearl Puffy Heart Locket
This sweet gold-filled heart-shaped locket is full of charm, likely dating back to the late 1800s (circa 1880-1900).
The outer frame features a beautifully textured woven or basket-like pattern, while the center is smooth and adorned with a dainty floral or starburst design. Six tiny seed pearls surround a central blue stone (likely glass). The back of the locket is simple and plain.
