Description

A beautiful Victorian locket and chain showcasing a polished slice of agate, which shows all its lovely colours and striped banding when held up to the light. Both the chain and locket are made in slightly rosy nine-carat gold.

The bail at the top of the locket unscrews to enable the frame to open - the agate is covered with a bevelled glass on one side so a photograph/picture/pressed flower etc could be inserted between them.

Marked 375 (nine-carat gold) on the clasp and 9C on a plaque on the chain.

In very good antique condition. The springring clasp is a slightly yellower gold and likely a more recent replacement.

Chain length: Approximately 60cm, 23.5 inches.

Locket size: Approximately 4.3 x 3.5cm, 4.3cm total drop.

Weight: 19.2g.

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

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.

This Victorian locket and chain set is constructed from nine-carat gold with a warm, slightly rosy finish, suspending a large polished slice of banded agate in an oval frame. The front presentation shows a carved patterned border around the perimeter, a shaped suspension bail at the top, and a link chain with a springring clasp. The agates display distinct dark, white, and translucent striped bands across the polished cabochon face. Measuring 4.3 cm high by 3.5 cm wide with a 60 cm chain, the locket opens via a screw-top bail to reveal an interior space covered with bevelled glass. The piece is marked with 375 on the clasp and 9C on a chain plaque. This item can be worn as personal jewellery or styled on display as part of a Victorian collection.

FAQs

Victorian agate lockets became prominent during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, largely inspired by Queen Victorias interest in Scottish pebble jewellery and natural hardstones.

These pieces were typically constructed using 9ct, 15ct, or 18ct gold frames paired with hand-cut and polished agate, jasper, or onyx cabochons.

Authentic items often feature British hallmarks, hand-engraved foliate borders, period-appropriate chain connectors, and natural banding within the agate.

While primarily worn as personal jewellery, antique lockets can also be displayed on velvet-lined trays, hanging stands, or kept inside glass display cloches as decorative curiosities.

Wipe the gold gently with a soft microfibre cloth and keep the locket away from water or harsh chemicals to protect internal portrait compartments and natural stone polishes.
