  • ColourRose Gold
  • MotifsOctagonal silhouette, Engine-turned engraving, Geometric stripes

Octagonal lockets from the Art Deco and mid-20th century era are characterised by geometric silhouettes, clean lines, and engine-turned surface patterns that reflect the prevailing design movements of the period.

These lockets were commonly crafted from 9-carat or 15-carat rose gold, an alloy combining pure gold with copper to achieve a warm reddish hue, often featuring delicate hinges and internal photo frames.

Authentic pieces typically bear British hallmarks denoting the gold purity, makers mark, and assay office symbol, alongside precise hand- or machine-engraved details and age-appropriate wear around the hinge and bail.

A vintage gold locket functions as a versatile heirloom accent, pairing effortlessly with minimalist knitwear, crisp shirts, or layered alongside contemporary fine gold chains.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid submerging in water or using chemical cleaners, which can damage internal photo compartments or weaken vintage hinges.
