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.

FAQs

A Mizpah locket originates from the Biblical Hebrew word meaning watchtower, commonly used in Victorian sentiment jewellery to symbolize an emotional bond between people separated by distance.

Victorian lockets were frequently crafted from 9-carat or 15-carat gold, often featuring chased or engraved details, glass interior compartments, and metal bezels for holding photographs.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate hallmarks, hand-engraved motifs, hollow-stamped or die-struck construction methods, and integrated hinge and snap-clasp mechanisms common to the 19th century.

An antique pendant can be suspended from a modern trace or curb chain, worn either as a standalone statement piece or layered with contemporary fine gold chains for a mixed-era aesthetic.

Clean antique lockets gently using a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners which can damage internal paper photographs, glass covers, or aged metal hinges.
