FAQs

Aesthetic Period lockets from the late Victorian era, circa 1870 to 1900, are defined by naturalistic themes, asymmetrical compositions, and Japanese decorative influences, often featuring hand-engraved birds, bamboo, and botanical motifs.

Victorian lockets were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, high-carat gold, or silver-gilt, using hand-chased and bright-cut engraving techniques alongside fitted internal frames to hold mementos.

Authentic pieces feature British sterling silver hallmarks or silver purity stamps, hand-engraved detailing with slight hand-crafted variations, and period-accurate hinges, internal bezels, and bail construction.

An antique silver locket can be worn suspended from a contemporary silver chain or dark velvet ribbon, layered alongside slim neck chains over tailored shirts or dark knitwear.

To preserve a silver locket, polish gently with a specialized silver polishing cloth, avoiding chemical dips or liquid cleaners that can damage internal photo compartments or strip deliberate oxidisation from engraved grooves.
