FAQs

During the mid-to-late 19th century, silver lockets became widely popular as sentimental tokens containing portraits or locks of hair. The Aesthetic Movement heavily influenced design during this era, introducing naturalistic themes such as songbirds, branches, and floral sprays.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or coin silver using traditional metal-forming techniques. Decorative detailing was executed by hand using gravers to cut fine lines into the surface, often paired with beaded or crenellated silver borders.

Authentic period pieces typically feature British hallmarks or makers marks inside the casing or on the bail indicating silver purity and date. Hand engraving will display minor variations under magnification, and hinges will exhibit age-appropriate friction wear.

An antique silver locket can be suspended from a modern sterling silver trace chain or a velvet ribbon for contrast. It functions as a focal statement piece when paired with simple modern tailoring or layered with contemporary fine necklaces.

Clean silver lockets gently using a soft, untreated microfibre cloth to remove oils and light tarnish without rubbing away fine engraving details. Avoid submerging the piece in liquid polish, as moisture can damage internal photo compartments and accelerate oxidisation inside the hinge.
