This Victorian pendant is a 9ct yellow gold "front and back" locket. The circular yellow gold piece has an internal bail at the top, an engraved fleur-de-lis motif, and vertical geometric striping surrounding an unengraved central cartouche. The front and back surfaces display hand-engraved details against a polished gold finish, while the inside contains intact photograph frames. It is designed to be worn suspended from a chain as personal jewellery. Crafted in the Victorian style, the locket showcases traditional metalwork ornamentation typical of the period. The small round pendant displays subtle signs of historic handling across its metallic surfaces. It can be worn daily as a necklace or kept within a collection of period accessories.

FAQs

Lockets gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth century, particularly throughout the Victorian era, serving as personal sentimental keepsakes. They were commonly worn to store miniature portraits, photos, or locks of hair, often featuring intricate hand engravings and symbolic motifs.

Antique lockets were typically crafted using yellow gold, rose gold, silver, or gold shell and back-and-front gold plating. The interiors often contain glass rims or metal bezels designed to secure paper photographs or woven hair tokens.

Authenticity can be evaluated through hallmark stamps, signs of hand engraving rather than machine stamping, period-appropriate hinge mechanisms, and gentle surface wear consistent with age and natural patination.

Small antique jewellery items can be incorporated into interior decor by displaying them under glass cloches, placed inside antique velvet ring boxes, or arranged on marble vanity trays alongside framed vintage art.

Clean gently using a soft lint-free cloth and avoid submerging the piece in liquid solutions, as moisture can enter the photo compartment and damage interior inserts or weaken historic hinges.
