19th century

Sold by Corvidae Antique

Description

A beautiful Victorian locket, nine-carat gold front and back. One side is very ornately engraved with a repeating geometric and foliate pattern while the other bears the legend "Mizpah". Mizpah jewellery was a token of good luck and historically given as a gift to (or from) a soldier leaving for war as a symbol of emotional attachment between sweethearts. It is also a Hebrew leaving salutation.

We have left the inside panels exactly as we found them with scraps of purple fabric; these can easily be replaced with your own photographs or keepsakes. One side contains an acetate, the other is glass.

Overall the locket is in good antique condition with hinge and clasp in good working order and a nice secure closure. There is enamel loss in the Mizpah lettering and a little pitting in the gold surface on that side.

Size: 2.9cm (just over 1 inch wide) x 3.3cm, 4.3cm total drop.

Weight: 12.4g.

The chain in the photographs is not included.
