FAQs

Swallow motifs were immensely popular during the Victorian era, symbolising love, loyalty, and the safe return of a traveller.

The term back and front indicates that the front and rear plates of the locket are crafted from solid gold, while the internal rims and mechanism are made from a base metal or contrasting alloy for structural integrity.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate hallmarks or stamps such as 9ct B&F, hand-engraved detailing, and traditional soldered jump rings indicative of historic manufacturing techniques.

An antique locket can be worn suspended from a fine modern chain for daily wear or layered with other gold necklaces to create a personalised, textured aesthetic.

Clean antique lockets gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners that might damage internal components or historic glass elements.
