About the Item
Gold-in-quartz was formed while the earth was still in its molten state. During the cooling and solidification process, veins of gold became trapped with the crystals of quartz in the mine. This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. Jewelry crafted from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's.
An unusual and gorgeous gold quartz locket from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This 15kt rosy gold piece resembles the shape of a shield, and is adorned with incredible pieces of inlaid gold quartz across the front surface. The face of the piece is divided into 3 plaques of stone, each separated by thin veins of gold to complete the design. The gold quartz is especially beautiful, exhibiting a range of colors including milky white, grey, beige, and marbled with flecks of vibrant gold. The back of the locket displays a smooth surface, with a lovely inscription in a beautiful script that reads: "Auren Barr to Auren Garrett." A hinge at the top allows the locket to open, revealing two spaces for special photographs inside. A decorative bail and gold loop at the top is perfect for hanging the pendant from a favorite chain. This unique and gorgeous locket is a wonderful Victorian piece, and would make a stunning addition to any collection!
The pendant hangs approximately 1 7/8" long (including the loop at the top) and measures about 1" wide and 1/4" thick.
The overall condition of the pendant is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold setting. All of the inlaid gold quartz stones are intact and securely set. The bail and locket hinge mechanism are secure and in good working order. One of the glass frames remains intact inside the locket.

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...
