Vintage Planetary Large Gold and Gemstone Starry Ball Locket (4 Panel)
Vintage Planetary Large Gold and Gemstone Starry Ball Locket (4 Panel)
We can’t resist a good ball pendant — or a good locket! Imagine our delight to find this substantially sized, mid-century, star-studded ball gold ball locket! A golden planet under a blanket of stars.
The locket opens via a clever hinge mechanism, with 4 photo panels that swivel out from the belly of the orb.
We love the soft, satiny Florentine finish and the gem-set engraved stars. The locket is dense and weighty — so tactile and soothing to hold. We like to wear this on a longer chain.
Fabulous find for all you lovers of orbs, planets, stars, and, of course, lockets!
Chains and other pendants shown are not included. Gold is 14k yellow, with a 14k yellow plating.
Unmarked.
14k gold, sapphire, ruby, one garnet.
Dimensions and weight:
● 32 mm long (including loop)
● 23.5 mm wide/deep (diameter)
● 19.6 grams
Period: Mid-20th Century (1950s-60s)
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present. A fine line of patina along the soldered seam was professionally removed by steam cleaning, and the 14k yellow gold locket subsequently plated in rich 14k for a uniform finish. The 14k loop is a new and custom addition to replace one that was smaller and thinner.
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
