A dragonfly zooming in on a flower graces the front of this incredibly charming locket, created during the Jugendstil art nouveau movement in Germany. The inscription on the back says Zur Erinnerung (as a memory) with the date 25 October '03.
Locket has hallmarks for antique 800 (80%) European silver, early 1900s. Measures 1.5 inches and about .5 inch deep. The recently added vintage chain matches in tone but is not silver. Chain measures 30 inches long. The chain does not have a clasp, and we will be happy to add one if you like.
Among European countries, Germany is said to be a hotspot for dragonflies and damselflies, with more than 80 species zipping around! What's the difference between a damselfly and a dragonfly anyway? Dragons have larger bodies and rest with their wings out; damselflies have long skinny bodies and rest wings drawn back.
