Antique bluish-green guilloche enamel locket dating to the early 20th century. This round sterling silver locket has a gorgeous starburst engine turned pattern. Guilloche is made by carving a pattern into the silver and then enamelling, a coloured glass power which flows and forms hard when fired, over the top to allow the pattern underneath to show through. To my eyes the colour is a pretty green with a hint of blue, like a pastel teal colour. The front side is enamelled and the back a smooth polished silver. Circa early 20th century, 1900 - 1920s, Edwardian in style.

In very good condition. There is one photograph holder and one plastic photograph cover. Snaps shut very audibly. There is minor wear to the enamel edge at the top by the bail and the bottom by the hinge.

Unmarked, stamped GERMANY on the bail. Professionally tested and assessed as sterling silver.
