Large Antique Victorian 9ct Back and Front Locket

19th century
Sold 1 July 2025 · Catherines Antique Jewellery Box

Description

Beautiful Antique Victorian 9ct Back and Front Locket rectangular shape. This is a superb quality locket measuring 3cm by 2.3cm not including the bale. It is adorned with beautiful and detailed hand carved decoration of flowers and leaves and borders on both the back and front. The locket is a deep well rounded rectangle shape, well formed on both sides which gives it a very tactile feel. The locket is not marked but tested for 9ct back and front which means the inner parts are not gold and neither is the border. The locket is in excellent condition for its age with no dents or bashes. I would say its a medium to large sized locket, the inside is in great useable condition with plexiglass and photographs space on both sides. With some minor wear to the gold in accordance to its age. Closes well but does not click shut. The total weight is 8.6g

Photographs are ZOOMED with x5 magnification. SO Please Check Sizes And Weights before purchasing as JEWELLERY IMAGES ARE ENLARGED!! Dark areas are reflections on the gold.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE: I try to accurately describe my items. I never knowingly mis-sell any item, so please read the description carefully. All items are checked by a professional Jeweller for authenticity; however no certificates are provided.

Your jewellery will come in a modern gift box and not necessarily the one in the photograph.

Please also note that Antique and Vintage items will show some signs of wear commensurate with age.

Returns are accepted however buyer must pay return postage.

Finally - by purchasing a Used /Vintage/ Antique ring you are recycling a beautiful piece of jewellery and gemstone. In buying a ring which has been in circulation for this long is the most environmentally ethical way to purchase jewellery. Purchasing antique jewellery allows you to both support smaller local businesses and but encouraging the reuse of the vast amount of timeless jewels that are already in circulation and reduces the demand for further stripping of our planets resources.

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria and is typically divided into three periods: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic, often featuring rich sentimental symbolism, floral motifs, and detailed hand-engraving.

Back and front lockets feature solid gold front and back plates, typically enclosing a base metal inner core or mechanism to provide structural durability while maintaining an exterior gold surface.

Authentic pieces often feature period-appropriate hallmarks or stamps, traditional hand-engraved patterns, natural patination, and mechanical hinges or bezels consistent with 19th-century manufacturing techniques.

Antique lockets can be worn suspended from a heavy trace chain as a focal necklace or incorporated into curated layered neckwear combinations to add historical texture to modern outfits.

Clean antique gold gently using a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners which can damage delicate internal bezels, glass inserts, or historical patination.
