Victorian 18kt Diamond & Enamel Portrait Locket

About the Item

An absolutely gorgeous gold and enamel locket from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This wonderful piece is made of 18kt yellow gold and has a vividly stunning portrait displayed on its face. The portrait is hand-painted, with a layer of clear enamel placed on top of it. The portrait is of a woman adorned with a laurel wreath headdress, as well as a blue hair ribbon. The portrait is painted with vivid hues of blue, pink, and green and the painting is surrounded by a scalloped etched design, which borders the entire heart-shaped piece. Black enamel tracery creates a lovely scrolled floral design within the border on the back of the locket with 23 assorted rose cut diamonds set within the enamel. The piece hangs from a complimentary, fluted bail and the locket opens to reveal one spot behind a piece of heart-cut crystal for a favorite photograph. It's a beautiful and unusual Victorian piece, which would make a wonderful addition to any collection! Measurements: The locket is approximately 1 1/2" long including the bail, is slightly less than 1" wide, and is 1/2" thick. Condition: The overall condition of the locket is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold or etched design. The painted portrait is in excellent condition and all of the diamonds are intact. It closes easily and securely.

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...
