Victorian lockets gained immense popularity during the 19th century, particularly following the mourning customs established by Queen Victoria after the death of Prince Albert, often used to hold miniature portraits or locks of hair.

Such pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver or coin silver, frequently featuring hand-engraved motifs, applied granulation, and occasionally dark paste or marcasite accents.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining hallmark stamps, makers marks, traditional patina, hand-cut components, and period-appropriate clasp mechanisms like barrel or bolt ring clasps.

An antique silver locket necklace can be layered with contemporary minimalist chains to create a contrasting, textured look that highlights its historical craftsmanship.

Preservation involves storing pieces in anti-tarnish bags, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip original oxidisation, and gently cleaning with a soft microfiber cloth.
