FAQs

Victorian memento lockets are personal sentiment pendants from the 19th century designed to hold photographs, miniature portraits, or locks of hair. They are frequently crafted from high-carat gold and feature intricate hand-engraving, engine-turned texturing, or symbolic gemstone settings.

Victorian lockets were commonly constructed from 15ct or 18ct yellow and rose gold, pinchbeck, or silver. Decorative elements frequently incorporated natural split seed pearls, enamel work, and hand-carved motifs.

Authentic Victorian lockets often display specific hallmarks or makers marks, traditional hand-engraving or engine-turned detailing, and period-appropriate closure mechanisms such as bevelled glass inserts or internal rim frames.

Victorian lockets can be worn as standalone statement pendants on fine gold chains or layered alongside modern gold chains of varying lengths for a textured, contemporary aesthetic.

Keep antique gold and pearl lockets away from moisture, perfumes, and chemical cleaners, as seed pearls are porous and susceptible to damage. Clean gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratching.
