Victorian 18K Gold Rose Cut Diamond Encrusted Heart Locket
About the Item
Circa 1880, this heart shaped locket is encrusted with rose cut diamonds, held up by tall buttercup prongs. The prongs are connected as a mount, separate from the locket, which has been riveted onto the piece. The dark patina of the mount creates an effect that is stunning and gothic, as the intricate setting makes for a mysterious, luminous focal point. Along the border of the heart is a delicate hand-engraved motif that adds another layer of intricacy to the piece. The locket’s original bail contains a final diamond in a matching buttercup prong setting.
The locket hinges open to reveal two heart-shaped panes of glass perfectly bezel set into heart-shaped frames. The tiny clasp that allows the locket to open and close is delicate but secure, carefully done by hand. A photograph or lock of hair could be placed behind the frames to personalize the piece (we recommend doing this with the help of a jeweler).
The locket contains 16 rose cut diamonds, ranging in size from 5mm - 2.5mm. The rose cuts have a very old, rough cut to them—each diamond is unique—which gives this piece so much depth and makes it mesmerizing to look at. The facets of the rose cuts catch the light beautifully, adding sparkle that pops against the dark patina. The locket contains at least 1.5 carats of diamond (potentially more, but because rose cuts are hard to formulate and the diamonds have never been removed from the mount, we are estimating the weight).
The locket is unmarked but tests as 18k gold. The back of the locket is textured by two small dents, which show the piece has been well-loved and do not detract from the beauty of the piece.
Weight: 14.4 grams. The locket measures 1 1/4” x 1 1/8” x 3/4” not including the bail. The bail measures approximately 1/2” x 1/4”.

14K Gold Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Drop Necklace with Bow
Located in Venice, CA
At the focal point of this elegant Victorian-era drop necklace are three antique diamonds suspended from a bow and navette shaped bar. The diamonds are Dutch rose cut, with layers of facets cut by hand, making each diamond one-of-a-kind with its own unique way of reflecting light. The largest, bottom diamond appears round, and the diamonds descend in size, with the middle and top diamond taking a more oval shape. The necklace has a 14k gold back and a silver front—a traditional way of mounting jewelry in the Victorian era. The beautiful diamonds rest in a silver backing, so the stones catch the light and reflect it brilliantly.
The diamonds are topped by a bow, which contains seven smaller rose-cut diamonds, surrounded by millegrain details that add subtle texture. A transitional bar connects the bow to the teardrop section, and features an eighth diamond set in a navette shaped mount.
The bow, navette, and diamond trio are articulated, so there is lots of movement while worn, adding to piece’s elegance.
The necklace is circa 1890’s. Kirsten’s Corner has added an antique platinum chain...
