Antique Edwardian Birks Sterling Heart Locket – Hand Engraved TVAN30
Beautiful early-20th-century Canadian sterling silver heart locket attributed to Birks, one of Canada's most historic jewellery houses.
This charming hinged heart pendant features an intricately hand-engraved floral and foliate design with beautifully aged surface patina and an old engraved monogram. The locket opens to reveal its original interior spaces for treasured photographs or keepsakes.
The interior bears a worn STERLING mark together with a distinctive Birks “B” maker's mark/device.
Dating is estimated to the Edwardian/early Art Deco period, approximately 1910–1920, based on the construction, engraving style and Birks silver-marking conventions of the period.

Care
Jewellery care requires regular effort as tarnish and the wearing away of plating is caused by very common elements: air (oxidation), moisture (sweat, water) and chemicals (hairspray, perfume, lotions, etc.).
Here are the easiest steps to follow:
Put jewellery on after applying makeup, hairspray, perfume, and lotion. Don't wear your jewellery to the salon or spa, into the bath or shower (chlorine, soap film) or lake (pollutants), or while exercising or spending time in high heat or humidity.
