FAQs

During the 19th century, particularly within French and Victorian jewellery design, photo lockets were crafted as personal sentimental keepsakes. They frequently featured intricate gold work and symbolism, with turquoise representing true love and pearls denoting purity.

High-carat gold, predominantly 18ct, formed the structure of French lockets from this period. Accents were fashioned using natural seed pearls, cabochon turquoise, and meticulous techniques such as wirework filigree and granulation.

Authentic French gold pieces typically bear French state hallmarks, such as the eagles head mark for 18ct gold, stamped on the loop or rim. Additionally, original pieces exhibit hand-applied granulation, fine wire embellishments, and natural, unheated gemstones.

Collectors often present antique gold lockets within velvet-lined glass shadow boxes, brass framed vitrines, or hung on miniature jewellery stands atop a dressing table or vanity.

Clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemicals or liquid dips, as moisture can damage organic pearls and porous turquoise. Store the piece flat in a dry, velvet-lined box away from direct light and humidity.
