Details
This charming antique Victorian heart locket dates to the late 19th century and is crafted in rosy 9ct gold “back and front,” which has developed a lovely smoothness and patina over time. Every detail on its face tells a romantic story, suggesting it was once a deeply meaningful gift, perhaps marking a great love or a poignant farewell.
Star-set turquoise stones, long associated with the forget-me-not, convey a love “written in the stars,” while the turquoise trefoil motif speaks of luck and good fortune. Creamy seed pearls - symbols of purity and loyalty - are also thoughtfully arranged in a chevron, or roof-like design across the centre, representing a protective “home” for the heart.
This authentic Victorian locket remains in excellent condition, retaining one original rim alongside new windows, ready to hold your own treasured photographs or a lock of hair. Whether chosen as a meaningful anniversary gift or added to a collection of sentimental antique jewellery, this collectable golden heart is ready for its next romantic chapter.
