Overview
An authentic Swatch Bijoux articulated heart locket pendant crafted in sterling silver (AG925) and stainless steel (INOX) with glossy red resin enamel inlay. The central barrel hinge allows the asymmetrical heart to open, suspended on an Italian-made sterling silver snake chain.
Story
Launched in the early 2000s under the Swatch Bijoux line, this clever mechanical locket reimagined romantic jewelry with sleek Swiss industrial design.
Maker / Origin
Swatch revolutionized the global watchmaking industry in 1983 with colorful, accessible Swiss-made timepieces before expanding into 'Swatch Bijoux' jewelry lines in 2001. Their jewelry embraced the same playful spirit, marrying clean engineering with bold pops of color.
Condition & Value
Very good pre-owned condition with minor surface micro-scratches on the polished reverse; enamel inlay appears intact with no chips. Excellent condition maintains standard market value.
