Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This Edwardian heart-shaped locket uses 18ct yellow gold, a natural blue sapphire, and rose cut diamonds. The front displays a central deep blue sapphire in a triangular cut, encircled by a halo of small old cut diamond chips. Surrounding the stone halo and covering the rear surface, the gold exhibits detailed engraved scrollwork. A small loop and ring at the top connect the heart to a suspension link. The locket diameter measures 1.4 cm with a total drop length of 2.7 cm. The yellow gold mount shows French hallmarking with the eagle head stamp. The internal compartment opens via a hinge mechanism on the side edge. Minimal signs of wear match the period of origin, leaving the metalwork free from deep dings or dents. Buyers can wear this pendant on a chain as a traditional piece of jewellery.

FAQs

Edwardian heart lockets typically feature delicate platinum or 18ct gold settings, central gemstones surrounded by diamonds, and fine hand-engraved ornamentation, reflecting the sentimental aesthetic of the early 20th century.

These pieces were commonly constructed from 18ct yellow or white gold, silver-topped gold settings, rose-cut or old European-cut diamonds, and natural coloured gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, and pearls.

Authentic items feature historic regional hallmarks, hand-cut gemstones, old-style diamond settings, precise hand engraving, and light fabrications characteristic of pre-1915 manufacturing methods.

An antique locket can be worn layered with delicate modern gold chains or styled as a single statement pendant against a dark or high-neck garment.

Clean gently using a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and avoid immersion in water or exposure to chemical liquid cleaners that could damage internal photo compartments or gemstone mountings.
