Victorian Dove Bird Locket Pendant Necklace Etruscan Revival Pearl Gold

About the Item

This is a gorgeous and rare antique Victorian bird dove locket pendant brooch in 10 Karat Gold adorned with a Pearl drop in an extraordinary Etruscan Revival three-dimensional design with the flying bird. The locket is one of the most beautiful antique animal, bird motif lockets we have seen. The locket is a wonderful size. It is antique and dates to the Belle Epoque, Victorian period. The locket has a magnificently modeled three dimensional flying dove bird with a pearl drop. The shield shape locket is adorned throughout with gorgeous applied granulation details in the Etruscan Revival style. The scrolls, beadwork and braided borders are absolutely wonderful. The locket opens on the reverse so that you may place a favorite photo, memento or keepsake. The original insert with its perspex cover is present. It has its original photo and which you may remove if desired. The romantic bird locket dances delightfully around the neck and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. Animal and bird inspired jewels as well as lockets are all the rage today and finding one of this quality is just a dream. The locket dates to circa 1850 - 1900. During the Victorian period jewelry with birds was often given to signify love and constancy across both distance and time. Jewelry featuring birds was often given to young couples or exchanged between them on their wedding day, and was worn by both men and women. The locket is 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) tall. It is 1 inch (26mm) wide. The opening for photo or memento is 17mm by 13mm. The locket is 10 Karat Gold. The locket weighs 9.7 grams.

  • Victorian Etruscan Revival Gold Fill Locket
    Located in Venice, CA
    This Victorian-era Etruscan Revival locket, circa 1870’s-1880’s, opens to reveal the daguerreotype of a young man. Across from it is a blank frame where an additional photo can still be added. The daguerreotype is hand-colored—the man has rosy cheeks and there is a slight blue tinge to the background. The front of the locket features ornate twisted-wire motifs and granulation, typical to the Etruscan Revival period, and there are seed pearls on the front emblem. The original bail can clip onto a larger chain, or a smaller chain can be slid through, so the locket can be styled in multiple ways. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800’s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...
