About the Item

This rare antique Victorian mourning locket, crafted in 9ct yellow gold back and front with a brass interior, carries deep sentimental value and showcases the era’s intricate mourning traditions. The front features a striking criss-cross design that once held enamel, while the back is adorned with an intricately engine-turned pattern, highlighting the remarkable craftsmanship of the time. Inside, the locket reveals a stunning piece of hairwork—an artfully curled lock of hair, preserved behind a glass frame. Mourning lockets like this were cherished symbols of remembrance in the Victorian era. The intricate hairwork inside was a traditional way to honor and preserve the memory of a loved one. This piece serves as a poignant example of Victorian mourning customs, offering a connection to the past and an enduring symbol of love and loss. A unique piece of history, it stands as both a fascinating collector’s item and a beautiful modern heirloom. Gold back and front lockets were a popular design during the Victorian era, featuring solid gold on the outer surfaces with a more durable metal, such as brass, used for the interior. This technique allowed for the beauty of gold to be showcased while ensuring the piece remained lightweight and sturdy. The locket hands from a new 9ct gold chain measuring 18".
