Description

Beautiful Antique Victorian 9ct gold back and front Locket with pearls and ruby paste stones of oval shape. This is a superb quality locket measuring 4cm by 3cm not including the bale. It is adorned with beautiful seed pearls, ruby paste in a very interesting abstract sweeping design. It has embossed decoration to the edge. The locket is 9ct gold back and front. The locket is a deep well rounded oval 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. The locket is in excellent condition with only one small ding on the back. 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 and clicks shut. The total weight is 7.5g

Please Check Sizes And Weights As JEWELLERY IMAGES ARE ENLARGED. Dark areas are reflections on the gold.

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 (18371901) and is typically categorised into three periodsRomantic, Grand, and Aestheticeach featuring distinct motifs, symbolic meanings, and metallurgical techniques.

Victorian lockets frequently utilised 9ct and 15ct gold, rolled gold, or pinchbeck, often embellished with natural seed pearls, gemstones, glass paste, hair work, and black enamel for mourning pieces.

Authentic pieces often feature period-appropriate hallmarks or makers marks, hand-engraved chased details, integrated hinge mechanisms, and handmade bezels rather than modern cast settings.

Antique lockets can be suspended from contemporary heavy gold chains to create a layered look, pairing historical craftsmanship with modern minimalist wardrobes.

Antique pieces should be stored individually in soft pouches away from moisture and chemical cleaners, and cleaned gently with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners due to delicate gem settings.
