Large Victorian 15ct Gold Engine-turned Hair Locket Pendant

19th century
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

An ornate 19th century pocket watch-style locket pendant, glassed on one side and with a lovely engine-turned back.

The glassed side of the locket holds a lock of hair. The top unscrews for you to insert your own picture or keepsake behind the glass should you wish.

The piece is in excellent antique condition and has tested as 15-carat gold. Fifteen-carat gold pieces are not overly common (in the UK only really used between 1854 and 1932) and as this fineness was generally used in high quality pieces, it is attractive to collectors.

Size: 4.8 x 3.5cm (almost two inches high).

Weight: 12.6g.

FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Popular throughout the nineteenth century, these lockets were created as sentimental keepsakes, designed to hold hair tokens, miniature portraits, or photographs of family members.

Victorian lockets of high standard were typically crafted from 15-carat gold and decorated using engine-turning lathes for geometric patterns, complemented by hand-chased outer borders.

Authentic nineteenth-century British lockets frequently bear standard hallmark stamps such as 15 or .625, showing precise engine-turned engraving and subtle signs of historical wear.

While intended to be worn, antique gold lockets can be displayed on velvet stands inside glass cloches or framed within shadow boxes on a dressing table or vanity.

Wipe gentle surface grime using a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and avoid immersion in water or chemical solvents to protect delicate inner compartments.
