Locket has light surface scratches consistent with age and use. Some of the gold plating is starting to wear off on some of the sunflower petals, but because of all of the detailing in the flowers, it is not overly noticeable. The front edge near the hinge is turned up ever so slightly, most likely from someone playing with the piece and opening it too far. Hinge has a slight wobble, but it is sturdy and closes securely. Chain has two tarnished links.
