This Victorian silver pendant locket dates to 1870 and displays an oval form suspended from a long fine silver belcher chain via a large silver bale. The front panel features an engraved floral pattern, bordered by a beaded detail and an outer crenellated frame. The silver metal has a polished finish in a uniform silver colour. This piece measures 5 cm high, 3.5 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this item functions as a wearable piece of jewellery. It can be worn around the neck on its chain as a personal accessory or displayed within a collection of period metalwork. The construction includes visible engraved floral motifs, a beaded surround, and a crenellated outer rim on the pendant body, alongside the links of the chain above. There are no hallmarks present on the metal surface, which is normal for jewellery of this period, and the piece shows very good overall condition.

FAQs

Victorian silver lockets from around 1870 often feature intricate hand-engraved floral motifs, bold geometric borders, and substantial silver chains, serving as sentimental keepsakes designed to store portraits or tokens.

These items were primarily crafted from sterling silver or coin silver, featuring hand-chased floral engravings, beaded borders, and hinged compartments with inner frames for holding photographs.

Authentic pieces from this era typically display hand-engraved or stamped floral patterns, period hallmarks or maker marks, signs of light natural oxidisation, and hand-finished hinges.

A Victorian silver locket functions as a focal accessory worn over high-neck knitwear, layered alongside slim contemporary chains, or paired with tailored jackets.

Wipe the exterior surface gently with a soft microfibre polishing cloth to remove residues, avoiding submersion in liquid cleaners that could damage internal portrait compartments.
