English Victorian Enamel Banded Agate Gold Locket

About the Item

Granulation... glorious granulation! Look closely to appreciate the incredible amount of labor that was required to create this stunning oversized Victorian treasure. A large cabochon banded agate is framed in a multi-textured bezel with meticulously precise enamel and further granulation on the sides of the pendant. The sculpted bale is also not without detail. The back reveals a picture locket that still retains an image displayed inside. In total, the pendant measures 3 inches long (including the bale) and 1.5 inches wide. Made of 15k yellow gold and suspended from an 18 inch antique chain.

  • Victorian 18k Banded Agate, Pearl + Enamel Mourning Locket
    Located in Narberth, PA
    This rare mourning locket from the Victorian (ca1875) era is quite a stunning piece! Crafted in vibrant 18k gold, the decorative locket serves as an incredible example of the mourning jewelry tradition. A delicate white pearl is pin-set in a gold 8-pointed star; a classic Victorian motif. The pearl and star rest in the center of a bezel-set piece of banded agate, surrounded by a gold twisted rope-like border around the bezel. The agate and pearl are encompassed by a broad gold boarder heavily adorned with black enamel. The enamel script reads "In memory of" on the four points of the cross. In between the points of the cross, gorgeously enameled flower-like shapes fill in the negative space. The outer edges of the locket also feature spoked gold-shot detail. The locket also boasts an over-sized bail that features the same floral enamel styling that can be seen throughout. The backside of this piece features a single large compartment with a removable glass face with gold frame that likely once held a photo or memento of the deceased. Engraved above the top of the compartment reads "George May, Died 6...
