Description

Beautiful Circular Victorian 9ct gold Locket with Birds and chain. This is a pretty locket measure 2.2cm by 2.2cm not including the bale and decorated with a bird, flowers and leaves on both the back and front. This is a small sized locket. There is an embossed floral border and is stamped for 9ct back and front. This means that the inner parts of the locket are not made of gold just the back and front panels. The locket is in excellent condition with some light wear to the gold in accordance with its age. Ready to use, with one photographic compartment. It is good small sixed useable locket with a gold bale. Opens and closes well. This locket is offered with a light 9ct gold chain. The chain is 46cm long and weighs 0.9g. This chain is light so will NOT be suitable for long-term or heavy use. If you require a thicker chain I have some others for sale. Would make a nice gift. Total weight is 4.2g

Photographs are ZOOMED with x5 magnification. SO Please Check Sizes And Weights before purchasing as JEWELLERY IMAGES ARE ENLARGED!! Dark areas are reflections on the gold.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE: I try to accurately describe my items. I never knowingly mis-sell any item, so please read the description carefully as any flaws will be mentioned. All items are checked by a professional Jeweller for authenticity; however no certificates are provided. If for any reason the item is found not to be genuine or as described a full refund will be given. So please buy with confidence.

Your jewellery will come in a modern gift box and not necessarily the one in the photograph.

Please also note that Antique and Vintage items will show some signs of wear commensurate with age.

Returns are accepted however buyer must pay return postage.

Finally - by purchasing a Used /Vintage/ Antique ring you are recycling a beautiful piece of jewellery and gemstone. In buying a ring which has been in circulation for this long is the most environmentally ethical way to purchase jewellery. Purchasing antique jewellery allows you to both support smaller local businesses and but encouraging the reuse of the vast amount of timeless jewels that are already in circulation and reduces the demand for further stripping of our planets resources.

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and is typically divided into three distinct periods: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic, each featuring symbolic motifs such as birds, flowers, and serpents crafted in yellow and rose gold.

Victorian lockets were frequently fabricated from 9ct or 15ct gold, rolled gold, or gilt metals, often incorporating precious stones, seed pearls, or hand-engraved surface ornamentation.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-appropriate hallmarks, handmade hinges, tiny glass compartments for photographs inside, and hand-chased or engraved exterior details rather than modern cast uniformity.

Antique pendants and lockets pair effectively with contemporary minimalist attire or layered with other gold chains of varying lengths to create a curated, historically rich aesthetic.

Antique gold items should be cleaned gently using a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners which can damage internal glass, vintage photographs, or delicate hinges.
