This exquisite antique locket is a timeless piece of artistry crafted around 1870. It features a central pierced floral design. Likely used as a vinaigrette or perfume pendant, the pierced design allowed perfume to permeate when placed on a small piece of cloth. The delicately engraved patterns on the gold surface showcase the skilled artistry that was revered during that period, making this locket an emblem of both art and history.
The interior holds a unique beveled glass partition, typical for French lockets and rare to find elsewhere. The partition allows you to preserve cherished memories, be it a photograph, a lock of hair, or a sentimental keepsake close to your heart.
Forged from solid 18k gold, this remarkable piece weighs a substantial 12 grams, a testament to its craftsmanship and enduring value. With this lovely locket, you're not just acquiring a piece of jewelry, but a relic of a bygone era, encapsulating the romance, sentimentality, and grandeur of the Victorian period.
