EstateVintageTreasures.... is Proud to Present Antique Victorian Cherub Heart Charm Necklace Spectacular Victorian charm necklace set in silver tone metal.  Features locket, hearts and cherubs and other Victorian themes dangling from chain. Some of the charms are attached to faceted glass beads.  Center locket opens up to reveal two heart shapes for inserting photos. The big hinged locket has the face slightly "concave in" on the center of the flower. I am not sure if necklace was made this way. It kind of accentuates the center flower. Please see photos below. Locket is decorated with lovely deep floral foliate etchings. All the charms are 3-D except for the heart decorated with foliate scrolls. Large center locket measures 1-1/2 inch wide and the smallest heart charm measures 1/2 inch wide.  Necklace measures 26-1/2 inches long. Chain on necklace measures 2 mm wide.  The faceted glass bead above locket measures 3/8 inch (10 mm wide). Necklace weighs  64.8 grams. Necklace has a nice vintage patina. Pease note two of the smaller hearts on top-left has a lighter patina. I acquired necklace this way. I bought this from a Church sale and the lady told me that she said that since it was very tarnished and believing it  was sterling silver, she placed it in a silver bath.   The result was a loss of patina on the two charms. However, the rest of the necklace still has a warm vintage patina. I myself have not cleaned or polished necklace. Necklace is in very good condition. Locket mechanism is in proper working condition and locket close tightly. Spring clasp is in proper working condition. Please note wear on clasp. I believe necklace is silver plate over brass. Charms are silver plated. This stunning necklace is a rare find. Please scroll down for more photos. I have taken a lot of photos, please be patient as they load.
