Gold Heart Locket

This is a small, heart-shaped locket, likely crafted from gold or gold-plated metal given its vibrant golden hue. The locket measures approximately 1 inch across, as indicated by the accompanying context. It features a hinged design, allowing one half of the heart to open, revealing an interior compartment. The perimeter of the larger, visible heart frame is adorned with a delicate twisted wire or rope motif, adding a textural, decorative element. The interior surfaces appear smooth, with a subtle brushed or satin finish on the left side, and a slightly textured or possibly engraved surface on the right side, which is currently open. There are no clear visible maker's marks or hallmarks in the provided image. The general style suggests a timeless design, possibly mid to late 20th century. The locket appears to be in good condition overall, with no readily apparent signs of significant damage like dents or deep scratches. There might be some minor surface wear consistent with age and use, but its reflective qualities indicate a well-maintained piece. A small jump ring is visible at the top, indicating it is designed to be worn as a pendant on a necklace or bracelet. The craftsmanship details are subtle, focusing on the frame's delicate twisted design and the functional hinge mechanism.
