For Repair Antique Victorian Locket - Enamel - Tri Color - 1860s to 1870s

*****This is an antique Victorian locket for repair or for a project. It is missing  the pin stem and the bale at the top. If repaired, this could be worn as a pendant  or a brooch. It looks like there was an earlier repair to the pin, as there is a roll  over safety clasp still in place. *****  Now about the locket. It is a tri color piece. Green, pink and yellow color metal.  I do believe that some of the pieces are gold. The main base of the piece looks to  be rolled gold. I have not tested any of it. You can see wear to what I believe to  be rolled gold. (See Pics) The center piece is hand painted enamel. There are  applied green leaves. Applied flowers. There is a seed pearl set in a pronged  setting at the bottom. There is an empty setting at the top. Most likely held  a pearl as well. On the back is the locket or hidden compartment. To open, just pry it open  with your fingernail. It contains the original glass and paper. This piece dates  to the 1860s to 1870s.   IMPORTANT about Condition: -----Missing bale -----Missing pin stem -----Missing one stone or pearl -----Some discoloration and wear to the metal Measurements: 2 "  by 1 1/8" (at widest point) For more photos and purchasing information: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331848348967
