Description: This really is a heart breaking piece of jewellery and of interest to those who collect sentimental and mourning jewellery. It commemorates two poor little souls with beautifully worked locks of their hair - Thomas A Davies who died 18th Feb 1872 aged just 3 years old and his Brother, Richard E Davies who dies on 12th December 1871 at just 9 months old. It makes you realise how lucky we are these days - dealing with the death of an infant child was just a fact of life back then. So sad.
Age: 1872
Size and weight: 12.66g, 4.3cm with bale x 2.5cm
Materials: 15ct Gold, glass, hair
Condition: Good condition commensurate with age and wear. The locket has very fine scuffs and scratches. Inside is a little dirty around the inscriptions - this could be cleaned up. One of the hair sections has slipped down in its setting a little. Locket opens and closes well and securely.
