About the Item

A fabulous and unique locket from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This large piece has a shield-like shape and is made of 15kt rose gold. In the center is an oval shaped locket face which has a crystal face. The locket is framed by a gorgeous wreath design which displays intricately detailed yellow and rose gold leaves. A sterling flower rests at the top and the bottom, each of which holds a single diamond at its center and surrounded by 6 seed pearls. Along the sides of the piece are several diamonds that alternate with natural seed pearls and dangling from the bottom are 3 vessels. The back of the locket displays a gold-framed piece of glass that flips up to reveal a spot for a colored piece of fabric or for a favorite photograph. Which ever you choose to place in the locket is seen through the front of the piece. A large etched bail at the top of the pendant makes it perfect for attaching to a complimentary long chain. This outstanding piece is beautifully made and would make a wonderful addition to any collection! The pendant hangs approximately 4 1/8" long, is 1 7/8" at the widest point, and slightly more than 1/4" thick.

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...
