Victorian Lion Locket Old Mine Cut Diamond Peridot Gold Pendant Necklace
About the Item
This is a spectacular antique Victorian Lion Locket in 10 Karat Gold with an Old Mine Cut Diamond in the mouth and two sparkling green Peridot gems in the eyes, in an extraordinary three-dimensional design. The locket is one of the most beautiful antique animal motif lockets we have every seen. It is antique and dates to the Belle Epoque, Victorian period. The locket has a magnificently modeled three dimensional lion, in 10 Karat Gold with two Peridot (the gems tested as Peridot but they may be emeralds or demantoid garnets as well) eyes and an Old Mine Cut Diamond in the mouth. We love our panther, lion, cat jewelry and this one is the finest we have seen. The repousse raised and engraved gold work creates a magnificent image of the big cat with wonderful mane, a strong intelligent face and with gorgeous details throughout.
The reverse has a beautifully done Victorian engraved monogram. The locket opens to reveal places for two photos. It has the original inserts and the cover for the photos on one side.
The dramatic lion, tiger, panther dances delightfully around the neck and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. Animal 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 1860 - 1910.
The locket is 1 1/4 inches (32mm) tall including the bale and is 1 inch (25mm) wide.
Diamonds: 1 Old Mine Cut Diamond
There is tiny tiny ding at about 4 O'clock on the right that is almost impossible to notice but we wanted to mention it.
The locket weighs 5 grams.
