This Victorian Etruscan revival memorial locket comprises a 9ct gold oval frame set with filigree metalwork, a cabochon garnet, a star-set seed pearl, and a twisted suspension loop at the top. The decorative border incorporates small round granules around the outer edge, while the central deep red stone holds a six-pointed star fixture inset with a white seed pearl. The reverse contains the original lock of hair behind a glass panel. Today, this piece serves as a pendant worn on a chain around the neck or kept in a personal collection. The construction combines intricate openwork wire details with polished metal surfaces, showing typical signs of age and wear across the gold components.

FAQs

A Victorian memorial locket is a sentimental piece of jewellery designed to hold a photograph, portrait miniature, or lock of hair in memory of a loved one. Popularised during the 19th century, these lockets often incorporated symbolic gemstones like garnets for devotion and pearls for tears.

Victorian garnet lockets typically featured yellow gold, gold gilt, or pinchbeck metalwork paired with pyrope or almandine garnet cabochons. Seed pearls were frequently set into star-shaped motifs on the face of the stone, alongside glass-covered rear compartments.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature hand-worked details such as wire filigree, cannnetille, star-etched stone settings, and hand-cut seed pearls. They also possess closed-back settings or bevelled glass compartments, exhibiting signs of historic hand-assembly rather than modern casting techniques.

In modern fashion, antique lockets can be suspended from fine gold chains or velvet ribbons to complement contemporary tailoring. Within a home, they are frequently displayed on velvet stands inside glass cloches or framed shadow boxes alongside other vintage collectibles.

Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth and avoid immersing the locket in water, as moisture can damage the internal glazed memento compartment and loosen seed pearls. Store separately in a soft lined pouch away from direct sunlight and humidity.
