Gold-Toned Heart Locket Necklace

This item is a gold-toned necklace featuring a heart-shaped locket as its central pendant, attached to a delicate chain. The locket itself is approximately 1 to 1.5 cm in width, though exact dimensions are difficult to ascertain from the image alone. It exhibits a highly decorative, ornate surface with intricate raised floral or scrollwork designs, indicating a repoussé or stamped manufacturing technique, giving it a somewhat 'puffy' or dimensional appearance. The overall color suggests it is either gold-plated, gold-filled, or a lower karat gold alloy, given the context of general inexpensive jewelry, especially if it were real gold its expected to weigh more than 5g. The chain appears to be a fine box chain or curb chain style, measuring 18 inches in length as per the additional context, and connected to the locket via a simple jump ring. The total weight of the necklace and locket combined is stated to be 5 grams, which suggests the materials are not solid high-karat gold. The locket is described as 'useable', implying it opens and closes correctly to hold small mementos. No specific manufacturing marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The style suggests it could be from the latter half of the 20th century to early 21st century, often mass-produced and given as gifts. The condition appears good overall, with no obvious signs of significant damage like dents or breaks, although surface wear or minor scratches consistent with occasional use might be present but are not clearly discernible in the image. The clasp at the end of the chain is a standard spring ring or lobster claw type, which is also not clearly visible due to the resolution.
