Antique Victorian 14 Karat Gold Heart Shape Locket Pendant

About the Item

This exquisite 14-karat gold heart-shaped locket pendant from the 19th century is a stunning example of antique Victorian craftsmanship. The pendant is beautifully shaped into a delicate heart, symbolizing love and affection, and is adorned with an intricate floral engraved décor (gravé). The hand-engraved floral patterns add a sense of elegance and artistry, reflecting the detailed workmanship typical of the era. At the center of the floral design, a small but lustrous seed pearl is set, providing a subtle yet elegant accent. Seed pearls were often used in antique jewelry, symbolizing purity and sentimentality. What makes this pendant even more special is its function as a locket. Inside, there is space for two small photographs, carefully placed within compartments, allowing the wearer to carry images of their loved ones close to their heart. The photo compartments are normally protected by glass or crystal covers, making this pendant not only decorative but also highly personal and meaningful. In this case the covers are missing. Measurement: height 2.5 cm The combination of the romantic heart shape, the intricate floral engraving, the central seed pearl, and the dual photo compartments make this pendant a truly sentimental piece. It embodies the delicate balance of beauty, symbolism, and personal connection that characterized 19th-century jewelry, making it both a treasured keepsake and a fine work of art.
