    I was hoping I could get some help dating how old this locket is. It was gifted to my mother when she was a child from another family member. Any info on how old it may be and what the markings mean on the back is appreciated! Thank you :) IMG_0503.jpeg IMG_0497.jpeg

    It says 9CT LD = 9-karat gold Lined ,which is basically plated.
    No way to date it from those marks.

    It's the sort of thing that was popular when my grandmother was a young woman, say 1912 - 1921.

    Back in the day, the makers did everything they could to convince you it was gold without actually saying it was gold.
