Description

Beautiful Antique Victorian 15ct gold locket with Garnet. This is a really lovely oval locket which measures 3cm by 2cm by 1cm including the bale and decorated with flowers, leaves and scrolls all around the sides. It is a very tactile piece featuring a stunning very large faceted deep red garnet measuring 15.5mm x 11.5 mm. The locket is unmarked but has been tested for 15ct gold. The locket is in excellent condition for its age with no dents or bashes. It is an impressive medium sized locket with a bit of weight to it. The garnet section can be removed to reveal the inner locket section which currently features a part of a ten shilling note. The total weight is 6.6g

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and is typically categorized into Early, Mid, and Late periods, featuring sentimental motifs, rich gemstones, and intricate metalwork.

Fifteen-carat (15ct) gold was commonly used in British jewellery during the Victorian and Edwardian eras before being largely replaced by 9ct and 18ct standards, often accompanied by traditional crown hallmarks.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-engraved details, foil-backed or bezel-set natural gemstones, and secure integrated hinges with glass compartments for keepsakes.

Pairing historic pendants with modern chains or layering them with minimalist gold pieces creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the craftsmanship of the past.

Store items separately in soft pouches, avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners due to delicate settings and internal photo compartments, and gently clean with a damp microfibre cloth.
