Victorian Sterling Silver heart locket pendant

Description : Repousse is a process that forms a design on the top of a surface, by hammering the negative shape pattern on the back of a sheet of metal. Often the silver is placed in a bowl of pitch to allow the surface to form. There are very specific hammers to create this effect, and this heart is the hand of a master craftsman. The fit of the hinged closure of the 45mm long pendant is remarkably snug for being over 100 years old. The opening allows the owner to put a secret, tiny message inside. What an intimate and nostalgic piece of jewelry. For your love, or for the love of yourself. Fabulous chain not included.
