We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mid-Victorian lockets from the 1860s reflected the Grand Period style, incorporating rich yellow gold, intricate wirework or filigree, and symbolic natural gemstones. These lockets served as both sentimental keepsakes and decorative accessories designed to hold photographs or miniature portraits.

Jewellers commonly used high-carat yellow gold, such as 15ct or 18ct, alongside natural gemstones including garnets, citrines, amethysts, and seed pearls. Construction involved precise hand-fabrication, granular wirework, and secure bezel settings for central stones.

Authentic Victorian lockets often bear British hallmarks or makers marks inside the casing or on the bail, alongside signs of hand-engraving and period solder points. The weight, natural patina of the gold, and method of gemstone setting also distinguish genuine period pieces from modern reproductions.

Victorian gold pendants and lockets layer effectively with contemporary gold chains or textured neck collars for an eclectic look. Wearing a detailed antique locket against plain fabrics, such as silk blouses or tailored knitwear, highlights the intricate metalwork.

Clean gold surfaces gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals or polishing agents. Because seed pearls are organic and vulnerable to moisture, lockets containing pearls should never be submerged in liquid or exposed to ultrasonic cleaners.
