Antique Bloodstone and Goldtone Locket With Original Photos. a beautiful truly antique locket with 2 large and lovely bloodstones both sides of it, and the original photos inside, which I left in. (couldn' bear to remove them). I don't know what the metal is, as I haven't had it tested, but think it to be heavy gold plate (it could be gold) It is hinged to open, snaps when closed. and the bloodstones are raised. It is in super condition for it's age, and is a beautiful and unusual piece of Antique Jewelry. It is 2 1/2 inches long when opened, and 1 1/4 inches long (closed), and 7/8 of an inch wide.
