Antique 9ct Gold Locket with Paste Stones

19th century
Description

Beautiful Antique 9ct gold Locket with paste stones. This is a superb quality circular locket measuring 2.6cm by 2.6cm not including the bale. It is adorned with beautiful design of ruby and diamond paste (Victorian substitute for ruby) stones set in a star shape. The locket is tested as 9ct gold and appears to be gold on the sides. The inner fittings are not gold. There are no hallmarks at all. The locket is circular and 4mm deep, well formed on both sides which gives it a very tactile feel. The locket is in good antique condition with only one very small ding on the back and a spot of tarnish at the top front of the locket. I would say its a medium sized locket and I have photographed it next to a one pound coin and a hand to get an idea of scale. The inside is in great usable condition with Plexiglas and photograph space on both sides. With some minor wear to the gold in accordance to its age. Closes well and clicks shut. The total weight is 5g

Photographs are ZOOMED with x5 magnification. SO Please Check Sizes And Weights before purchasing as JEWELLERY IMAGES ARE ENLARGED!! Dark areas are reflections on the gold.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE: I try to accurately describe my items. I never knowingly mis-sell any item, so please read the description carefully. All items are checked by a professional Jeweller for authenticity; however no certificates are provided. If for any reason the item is found not to be genuine or as described a full refund will be given. So please buy with confidence.

Your jewellery will come in a modern gift box and not necessarily the one in the photograph.

Please also note that Antique and Vintage items will show some signs of wear commensurate with age.

Returns are accepted however buyer must pay return postage.

Finally - by purchasing a Used /Vintage/ Antique ring you are recycling a beautiful piece of jewellery and gemstone. In buying a ring which has been in circulation for this long is the most environmentally ethical way to purchase jewellery. Purchasing antique jewellery allows you to both support smaller local businesses and but encouraging the reuse of the vast amount of timeless jewels that are already in circulation and reduces the demand for further stripping of our planets resources.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Starburst lockets gained prominence during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, where celestial motifs were frequently chosen to represent guidance and direction.

Victorian lockets were commonly constructed from 9ct, 15ct, or 18ct gold, incorporating paste gems, seed pearls, or garnets into hand-engraved settings.

Authentic pieces typically display British hallmark stamps indicating gold purity, accompanied by characteristic hand-engraved details and traditional pin-hinge construction.

An antique locket can be suspended from a fine modern gold chain or worn alongside contemporary minimalist pendants for a layered look.

Store the item in a dry, soft-lined container, avoid contact with liquids or perfumes that might degrade paste settings, and clean gently with a lint-free cloth.
