S.K. Merrill Co. Edwardian Massive Locket with Paste

c1900 S.K. Merrill Co. Gorgeous massive locket from the early 20th century. The metal is a gilded brass-a warm gold tone. The front is filled with flowers and leaves and graduated set paste. All stones present and original. The locket snaps tightly shut. Nice decorative bale. Hand engraved initials on back. No dents. Please note there is a little file notch at the bottom side edge where at some point a dumb a** tested it for gold. It is not noticeable when wearing. What's not to love about a huge locket?? Yes I am stuck on a locket phase currently. Slightly over 2.5 in top to bottom.
