Vintage Guilloche Engraved Locket Necklace, Gold Fill Photo Picture Locket
$165.00
This awesome vintage late Art Deco, early Retro Era gold filled, guilloche engraved locket is so unique. This piece retains its original inner frames and one of the celluloid pieces. It comes with the original curb chain that is in very good shape, original spring ring works perfectly.
The LaMode name was used by the Ripley & Gowen Co. of Attleboro, MA during this time period. Gold filled gives you the look and feel of solid gold but, unlike gold plated jewelry, the gold content is many times thicker and the color will not fade.
Shipped in a jewelry gift box wrapped in ribbon, ready for a fabulous presentation or a beautiful treat for yourself!

Frequently Asked Questions
Returns
We want you to shop with confidence and love your piece.
If you need to make a return, please notify us within 3 business days of delivery
Returns must be shipped back within 7 calendar days and in the same condition with all original packaging.
Buyer is responsible for return shipping, insurance, and tracking; uninsured items lost or damaged in transit cannot be refunded.
Layaway, sale, and discounted items are final sale.
Refunds are issued once the item is received in original condition, minus original shipping.
Layaway
We are pleased to offer interest-free layaway on pieces priced at $500 and above.
A 20% non-refundable deposit reserves your selected piece, with the remaining balance payable over up to 120 days.
As each jewel is one-of-a-kind and removed from active sale during layaway, timely payments are appreciated. If a payment is missed without prior communication, the layaway may be canceled and the deposit retained. If we do not receive communication within 7 days of a scheduled payment, the layaway will be considered canceled.
All layaway purchases are final sale and not eligible for return or exchange.
By initiating a layaway, buyers acknowledge and agree to these terms.
Sizing details
Unfortunately we are unable to offer in-house sizing at this time.
Because each ring is unique in its age and construction, the ability to size varies by design and stone setting. Many pieces can be adjusted within two sizes, though this is only a general guideline.
We recommend having any sizing done by a trusted local jeweler, ideally one who uses a laser welder, as antique gold and historical settings often require specialized care.
If you’d like us to help coordinate third-party sizing for an additional fee, please reach out before purchasing.
Please note that all sizing performed by any jeweler or third party is at the buyer’s discretion and is non-refundable.

We are not GIA-certified gemologists, but we bring more than 25 years of combined experience in antique and fine jewelry, supported by ongoing study in gemstones, materials, and design. Every piece is examined carefully and described with accuracy and transparency.
When an item has been reviewed by our local GIA Graduate Gemologist, that assessment will be clearly noted in the listing.
Our goal is to provide information you can trust and to help you shop with confidence.
