This Edwardian heart locket is made from high carat yellow gold and dates to the early twentieth century. The piece measures 2.1 x 2.3 cm and opens in the normal manner, containing a single gold rim to hold pictures inside. The front surface displays delicate floral hand engraving alongside a starburst setting holding a central old cut diamond. Small surface scratches are visible on the metal, reflecting signs of age consistent with regular historical use, while the overall structure remains intact without significant dents. Intended to be worn as a pendant around the neck on a chain, the object serves as a traditional piece of personal jewellery. The warm mellow yellow gold colour catches the light through the engraved motifs and the central gemstone flush-set into the body. The small suspension loop at the top allows attachment to various necklace styles for everyday wear or special occasions.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), heart lockets were popular tokens of affection, combining lightweight fine metalcraft with sentimental functionality to hold portraits or locks of hair.

Edwardian lockets were commonly crafted from high-carat yellow or rose gold, such as 15ct or 18ct, often decorated with hand-engraved scrollwork and set with small old-cut diamonds or seed pearls.

Authentic pieces typically feature British hallmarks such as 15ct (a purity standard abolished in the UK in 1932), starburst flush settings, hand-drawn floral chasing, and hand-cut stones like old European or mine cut diamonds.

An antique locket can be suspended from a modern fine gold trace chain and layered with contemporary necklaces or worn solo as a understated statement piece.

Wipe the exterior gently with a dry, soft microfibre polishing cloth, and avoid submerging the item in liquid to prevent water from entering the interior glass frames or hinge mechanism.
