This Victorian sterling silver oval locket pendant measures 6.3 cm x 3.5 cm including the bail, and 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm excluding it, with a weight of 15.46 grams. Modelled in sterling silver with a silver colour, the piece presents a central hand-engraved ivy leaf motif framed by a patterned anthemion border and a tapered bail at the top. The visual details include crisp hand-engraving, decorative silver detailing, and an inner rim on both sides to hold photographs. The green textured fabric surface and the metallic sheen are visible in the visual presentation. Light surface wear is present in keeping with age, alongside faded hallmarks from the Birmingham maker T.C&S dating to 1893. The pendant can be worn as personal jewellery when paired with a chain or added to a collection.

FAQs

In Victorian sentimentality, ivy leaves symbolised fidelity, strong attachment, and eternal affection due to the plants clinging habit and evergreen nature.

Victorian lockets were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, gold, or pinchbeck, frequently decorated with hand engraving, enamel detailing, and internal glass rims designed to hold paper portraits or locks of hair.

Authentic British examples typically feature official assay hallmarks indicating silver purity, date letters, and maker marks, accompanied by hand-cut hinges, hand-engraved patterns, and age-appropriate surface oxidisation.

An antique silver locket can be suspended from a contemporary silver chain to layer with minimalist jewellery, worn against dark tailoring, or displayed on a velvet tray on a vanity table.

Silver lockets should be buffed gently using a dry microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or submersions that could seep into the hinge or damage photographs contained inside.
