This antique Edwardian Era locket is made by FM Co, Finberg Manufacturing Company between 1910-1930.  It features a beautiful emobssed edge detail and a centerpiece oval frame surround by florals. It is 1/20 12k Goldfill with some visible wear around edges. Measures approximately 1" by 1.5". Marked FM Co 1/20. 

Lockets have been around since the late 1800's Victorian Era with Prince Albert and Queen Victoria using lockets to remember their loved ones to the Sweetheart Era of the 1940's where soldiers took Prince Albert’s original romantic gesture and cue and cut out heart-shaped photographs of themselves intended to be worn by their paramours until they returned from distant shores. A modern day definition of a relationship of love that is now passed from one romantic generation to the next.

Each locket is one-of-a-kind, and in some cases, like this one, over 100 years old. Each has unique wear and tear that adds to the charm and history of the piece.  

This is the locket only, no chain.
