FAQs

Jewellery from the Belle Epoque and Edwardian eras, spanning approximately 1890 to 1915, is characterised by light, delicate designs, often incorporating motifs inspired by nature, fluid scrollwork, and fine gemstone embellishments set in gold or platinum.

Edwardian lockets were commonly crafted from yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum, and were frequently set with gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, diamonds, and seed pearls using precise hand-engraving techniques.

Authentic pieces from this period typically display hand-engraved detailing, period-correct hallmarks or makers marks, original internal bezel rings for retaining photographs, and characteristic gemstone cut styles such as pear or rose cuts.

An antique gold locket can be worn as a focal pendant on a modern gold chain, layered with contemporary fine necklaces, or worn over simple clothing to highlight its decorative engraving and gemstone settings.

To preserve an antique locket, clean it gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid submersing the piece in water to protect internal photograph compartments, and store it separately in a lined box away from humidity.
