On the front a flower is beautifully crafted and set with natural pearls. Victorians loved symbolism and the pearls were representative of tears. The top and bottom of the locket add some drama with a beautiful scrolled design. These lockets were often sentimental in nature and stored a lock of hair or picture from a loved one. I always love to put dried flowers in my lockets but it could also hold gem stones or anything else that needs to be guarded preciously.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONDITION NOTES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe locket is in good condition with light micro-scratches consistent with age and light deformities to the gold frame. The closure is secure and despite the lockets age it closes with a satisfying 'click'. It is hallmarked by two eagle heads on the interior rim. The frame on the top and bottom are fragile, so handle gently.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeriod: Late Victorian c. 1890\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: 18k gold (eagle head hallmark 1838-1992)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 2.80g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize (oval only): 0.95\" x 0.7\" or 2.4 cm x 1.75 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize (with bail): 1.6\" or 4.0 cm (length)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note this listing is for the locket only.
