True blue, they say, these colors don’t fade. So named for fabric dyed in Coventry, England during the Middle Ages, today, “true blue” stands for loyalty, steadfastness, a true bond. While this blue locket was made a bit later, c. 1911, it captures that same sentiment with a sweet engraved message on the inside,  "Warren to Ethel Oct. 11 1911". 

This Edwardian era blue guilloche enamel locket has a white border and an approx. 0.10 carat bezel-set old European cut diamond in an applied geometric design on top. On the inside, it has the bow and arrow maker's mark of Newark's Whiteside & Blank and a 14K stamp opposite a keepsake lock of hair. The chain with an extension for the pendant is comprised of 18K white gold links and 14K yellow gold, blue and white enamel stations. The spring ring clasp was likely replaced before it came to us, it is currently 12KGF.

This necklace is in excellent antique condition. The chain measures 18.5" long with an additional 3" from the pendant's suspension from an 18K white gold, diamond-set design.
