Victorian Banded Onyx Locket Pendant Gold M Initial Sardonyx

About the Item

A rare and wonderful antique Belle Epoque, Victorian locket pendant with a beautiful engraved "M" initial on one side. The wonderful locket is 10 Karat Rose Gold. On one side the Banded Onyx, or Sardonyx stone is hand carved with a Victorian "M" initial. The top color of the banded onyx is a light blue grey. The underlayer is a caramel color. The other side of the locket has the same stone with no engraving. The locket has a beautiful shield form design and the onyx stones are wonderfully scalloped. The locket opens to reveal compartments for two photos which have their original glass covers intact. The bale is a swivel bale. The dramatic locket dances delightfully around the neck and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. The locket dates to circa 1850 - 1890. The locket pendant is 1 3/4 inches (47 mm) long including the bales. Without the bale it is 1 1/4 inches (32mm) tall and 20mm wide. The locket is 1/2 inch (12mm) deep. The photo compartment is 26mm by 17mm. The locket pendant weighs 14.7 grams. The listing is only for the locket pendant. The neck chain is only shown for display.
