About the Item

Victorian Enamel Orb Locket Depicting the Earth (c. 1850–1870) An exquisite artifact of mid-19th century design, this rare Victorian locket (circa 1850–1870) takes the form of a copper orb, intricately adorned with white and pink enamel that maps out a stylized representation of the earth. Romantic and symbolic, the globe-inspired design reflects the era's fascination with discovery, exploration, and the interconnectedness of the world. The orb twists open into two hemispheres, revealing a hidden compartment within—ideal for holding a personal keepsake, miniature portrait, or token of sentiment. The locket measures approximately 1.2 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 0.8 inches wide, with a solid feel at 6.23 grams. It is offered in very good antique condition, with expected minor enamel wear and light chipping consistent with age and historical use. The metal content has been professionally verified through X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming the use of copper and enamel in its construction. Materials: Copper, enamel
