Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and is generally divided into three periods: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic. Lockets during this time frequently incorporated sentimental motifs, heavy ornamentation, and hand-engraving to hold miniature portraits or locks of hair.

The term back and front refers to a manufacturing technique where the exterior plates of the locket are crafted from solid gold (such as 9ct) while the internal rims, hinges, and framing elements are composed of base metal or gold fill for structural reinforcement.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-cut engravings rather than modern machine casting, period-appropriate hallmarks or the absence of stamps common on older unmarked items, and traditional findings such as tubular hinges and secure glass bezels.

Antique lockets can be styled today by layering them on varied chain lengths with contemporary pendants or wearing them as a singular statement piece against minimalist fabrics to highlight their historical craftsmanship.

Antique pieces should be stored individually in soft pouches to prevent scratching, kept away from harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and cleaned gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
