22K gold dipped pewter, Victorian lock, pendant, pewter castings, B'sue by 1928, Measures 30 x 21mm (measurement includes top locket loop). Wrap around pattern with key hole front. The lock does not open at the top. Open bottom, with a separate plate that nests inside the bottom with a hanging hole. You can easily glue it in, you can put in to show flat side, or let it loop side out to connect a small tassel or dangle.
22K Gold Finish is a rich bright gold wash over the pewter casting. Very strong and sturdy, it is lead and cadmium free as are all of our finishes at B'sue Boutiques. The finish is a high gold look that rivals any of the best plating done her in the States, and ours is done by a highly skilled US plating house. As with our Classic Gold finish, however, there is a tiny bit of nickel under the top color layer. Nickel is often used *under* a gold finish to ensure it's strength and beauty. The way it is applied to this line is minimal and since it is under the top layer it does not come in direct contact with the skin, however, it is not, and cannot be called totally nickel free, like our other finishes. All of the post earring findings are plated ONLY on the finding, the posts are surgical steel.
