This Edwardian brooch is an Arts and Crafts locket crafted in nine-carat yellow gold, featuring a circular frame bordered by a perimeter halo of seed pearls. The central compartment contains glazed glass, and the reverse holds a functioning locket back with intact glass and a secure C-clasp pin. The warm yellow gold shows milled edge decoration along the outer border, individual white seed pearls set closely together around the circumference, and clear glass within the rounded central housing. The metal displays a polished finish with no dents on the surfaces, and the hinge and clasp mechanism operates smoothly. The brooch diameter measures 1.7 cm, with individual pearls measuring 0.2 cm. In a contemporary home, this small piece functions as a wearable accessory, suitable for fastening to garments or displaying within a collection of period jewellery. The secure pin and enclosed glazed compartment allow the wearer to secure it to lapels, scarves, or collars during daily wear or special occasions, retaining the traditional character of early twentieth-century accessories.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King Edward VII between 1901 and 1910, Edwardian locket brooches typically feature fine gold metalwork, seed pearls, and central glass compartments designed to hold portrait photographs or hair keepsakes.

Murrle Bennett & Co. frequently crafted pieces using 9ct or 15ct yellow gold, accented with seed pearls, turquoise, enamel, and natural gemstones, often incorporating glazed locket compartments.

Authentic pieces often bear stamped gold purity hallmarks, makers marks such as MBCo for Murrle Bennett, and period-appropriate features like C-clasp closures or tube hinges.

An antique gold locket brooch can be pinned to a lapel, fastened onto a silk scarf, styled on a velvet ribbon as a choker, or displayed in a glass-fronted wall case.

Clean the piece gently with a soft dry microfiber cloth, avoiding water or chemical solutions that could damage delicate seed pearls or dislodge internal mementos.
