Gothic Revival Gold Locket

About the Item

Circa 1880s, 18k. This mysterious antique locket features an elaborate Gothic hinge, a stunning functional decoration. It is as though a secret or a precious is locked inside. The ideal place for pictures, the interior folds outward to hold five. The visual contrast of the warmer pink gold hinge against the yellow 18k body completes the look. One more secret … the hinge is a hidden Fleur-de-Lis so it is most likely French with the hallmarks lost to time! Excellent condition. Noted: The chain shown is a separate item. Remark: “Always in style, lockets are perfect for today's gamine Victorian revival styles; think "The Vampires Wife or the deconstructed 19th-century looks of Alexander McQueen.” SIZE: 1 and 3/8ths of an inch WEIGHT: 14 grams STONES: None HALLMARKS: None, tested 18k STOCK NUMBER: 23783 Jewelry acquired from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.

  • Victorian Etruscan Revival Gold Fill Locket
    Located in Venice, CA
    This Victorian-era Etruscan Revival locket, circa 1870’s-1880’s, opens to reveal the daguerreotype of a young man. Across from it is a blank frame where an additional photo can still be added. The daguerreotype is hand-colored—the man has rosy cheeks and there is a slight blue tinge to the background. The front of the locket features ornate twisted-wire motifs and granulation, typical to the Etruscan Revival period, and there are seed pearls on the front emblem. The original bail can clip onto a larger chain, or a smaller chain can be slid through, so the locket can be styled in multiple ways. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800’s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...
