Gold front-and-back is an antique gold jewelry style where both the front and the back of the locket are crafted from solid gold, with the frames and locket hinge crafted from base metal. Not only does this make the antique locket more affordable, but it also means that it is very durable - so you can be confident that it will look just as good in many years' time.

“When a robin appears, loved ones are near,” an oft-repeated phrase in 19th century England recalls. The robin is only occasionally found in antique jewels, as the swooping sparrow is often seen as the dominant passerine of the Victorian period, but is a beautifully sentimental symbol nonetheless. We could not be more excited to offer this gold back + front example.
