Rare Hidden Key Victorian 18k Ball Pendant

About the Item

A fabulous hidden key ball pendant from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This stylish piece is made of vibrant 18kt yellow gold and has a three-dimensional spherical shape. The outside of the ball is a smooth surface and is hollow inside. The ball opens to reveal a fold down key that was used to open a jewelry box. A gold ring at the top makes it easy to hang and wear from your favorite chain. A special and very fashionable piece, it merges seamlessly into modern day fashion and would compliment any ensemble! Measurements: The ball pendant hangs 1 1/8" long and has a diameter of slightly more than 5/8". Condition: The overall condition of the pendant is good. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold setting. The pendant opens easily and fastens shut securely, and the bail is secure and intact.

  • 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...
