About the Item

A Victorian onyx, diamond, and yellow gold locket, comprising two onyx cabochons, and 52 rose cut diamonds, with two glass-covered compartments, in 15 karat yellow gold and 9 karat yellow gold. My favourite thing about this Victorian Gold Diamond and Onyx Locket is the striking diamond monogram. What’s yours? Perhaps the tactile onyx? Or the original fitted case? This handsome mourning locket is designed as an oval, cabochon onyx panel, which is perfectly smooth and glossy, adorned to each side with a monogram. One side has initial RL or LR in yellow gold, the ornate letters entwined with one another. The other side has gold initials, each adorned with a plethora of glittering rose cut diamonds. The monogram is made up of initials GTIC or GTIO (or some variation of those letters or similar) which are elegantly entwined with one another. The onyx panels are framed in yellow gold, and a substantial gold bale allows for wear with many types and sizes of chain. The locket opens on a hinge, revealing a glass-covered locket compartment to each side. The compartments are complete with their original gold bezels which hold the glass in place, engraved respectively with dates ’31. January 1888.’ And ’25. March 1885.’ The locket closes with a satisfying snap. This locket is supremely well made, and oozes quality. It is a very weighty piece, and will have been intentionally designed as such, a reminder for the grieving wearer. The locket is in excellent condition. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. Width: 34.6mm Length (including bale): 60.6mm Length (excluding bale): 45mm Depth: 16.8mm Total diamond weight, estimated: 0.33ctw Gross weight: 46g Hallmarks: none, tests as 15 karat gold, locket frames test as 9 karat yellow gold, circa 1880 Your locket will be presented in its original black leather and gilded case, with cream velvet and ivory silk interior.
