Antique Victorian 9K Gold Locket Pendant with Garnet and Seed Pearls, Circa 1870

About the Item

A beautiful example of Victorian jewelry, this ornate locket pendant is crafted in warm 9K yellow gold and showcases the elegant craftsmanship of the era. The focal point is a deep red, cabochon-cut garnet carbuncle, shaped in a teardrop form and crowned with a luminous half pearl at its center. A second half pearl adorns the lower section of the pendant, adding balance and refinement. Surrounding the garnet is a beautifully detailed gold framework, accented with granulated beadwork and engraved foliate scrollwork that epitomizes the romantic sentimentality of the Victorian period. The bale is set with additional seed pearls, enhancing the overall opulence and Victorian symbolism. The reverse features a secure locket compartment, complete with original red fabric lining, designed to hold a cherished memento such as a lock of hair or miniature portrait. The design allows easy access while preserving the integrity of the piece. Details: Period: Victorian, circa mid-to-late 19th century. Materials: 9K yellow gold, (unmarked, but tested) garnet carbuncles, half pearls. Design: Openwork gold frame with domed garnet centers and pearl accents. Length: Approx. 6.5 cm (2.56 inches). Condition: Very good antique condition; minor wear consistent with age. This pendant is an exceptional find for collectors of antique jewelry, particularly lovers of Victorian design and meaningful gemstone combinations. Elegant yet dramatic, they make a statement both in history and in style.
