Victorian Butterfly Insect Bohemian Garnet Locket Pendant Necklace Belle Epoque

About the Item

This is a gorgeous Belle Epoque - Victorian Bohemian Garnet Locket Pendant with a fabulous Butterfly Insect motif on the front. The butterfly insect has garnet set wings with a paste stone in the star at the top. It is very rare to find insect motif lockets and we are always thrilled when we do. This one with Garnets, the butterfly and the star is absolutely fantastic. The locket is gold filled. The locket opens to reveal places for you to place your favorite photo or memento. The locket dates to the Victorian - Belle Epoque periods, circa 1860-1890. The vivid blood red color of Garnets has symbolized love and devotion through the ages. Garnets also signify protection, friendship, and trust and garnets are also said to keep the wearer safe during travel. Tokens of love and affection such as this gorgeous locket are treasures to be passed down for generations. Garnet lockets are rare and highly coveted. We are thrilled to be able to offer this fabulous example. The locket is 1.75 inches tall including the bales. Without the bale it is 1 1/4 inches (30mm) in diameter. ​The locket weighs 6.3 grams. One of the garnets may be a replacement. The listing is only for the garnet locket. The chain is shown for display.
