About this product
This is a vintage Mary Chess locket pendant necklace from the 1960s, featuring an oval, gold-tone design with porcelain material. The locket is empty, originally designed to hold solid perfume. It includes a bar link chain and is presented as an original, non-antique piece from the Victorian (1837-1901) era, despite the 1960s manufacturing date. The piece is themed around art, beauty, and fashion, suitable for women and various occasions.
Our take
This vintage Mary Chess locket offers a touch of classic elegance. The gold-tone oval pendant with its porcelain element is quite appealing, providing that authentic MCM aesthetic from its 1960s manufacturing. It's a shame it's empty, as the allure of a solid perfume locket is often having that original scent, but it still functions as a beautiful, wearable piece. The bar link chain is a nice detail. The description of it being from the Victorian era while manufactured in the 1960s is a bit confusing, suggesting it's more Victorian in style rather than actual age. Its "unknown" metal and base metal details are a minor drawback, as some collectors prefer more specific material information.
