Comparable period gold lockets are documented with 10K markings incorporated into circular/recessed interior areas, but I have not attributed this piece to a specific manufacturer without documentary proof.The only maker/metal marking being represented here is the 10K stamp.DATE & MONOGRAMThe reverse is personally engraved “Aug. 10, 1913.”The large intertwined monogram is executed in an elaborate period Spencerian/Edwardian hand-engraved style.The exact initials represented by the intertwined letters are not being guessed in this listing.The engraved date should be considered a personal/sentimental date rather than proof that the locket itself was manufactured on that exact day.INTERIORThe locket opens to reveal two original circular photo compartments, making it a true double-photo/sentimental locket.The original interior construction and circular retaining frames remain present.CONDITIONAntique condition appropriate to age, including normal surface wear, patina, fine scratches and minor signs of handling/use.Please examine all photographs carefully, as the photographs are part of the description.The locket has the character and surface wear expected from an approximately early-20th-century piece that was actually worn and used.CHAINThe antique chain shown is included with the locket.The chain is removable and is being sold with the locket as pictured. I am not representing the chain as original to the locket or assigning it a gold purity unless separately marked/tested.IMPORTANTThis is an antique 10K gold locket, not a modern reproduction.It is being offered based on its documented 10K marking, antique construction, engraving, date, two-photo interior and overall period characteristics.No specific manufacturer is being claimed without documentation.A beautiful and highly personal piece of early-20th-century jewelry with an unusually elaborate monogram and a documented 1913 date.
