[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10543285, member: 2844"]Love the locket. Buckle jewellery was popular in the 19th century, but given the plastic inserts I would think this one is early 20th. My guess is gold plated. Probably not gold filled, which is a specific technique where a layer of gold is bonded under pressure to a layer of base metal. As shamster said, XRF testing will give you certainty. The rose gold clasp looks gold to me. It has no business being there but it is a nice bonus which can be used on something else.[/QUOTE]
