{"product_id":"antique-victorian-japonisme-silver-bird-locket-necklace-8169","title":"Antique Victorian Japonisme Silver Bird Locket Necklace","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis beautiful late Victorian sterling silver oval locket is a finely detailed piece of 19th-century craftsmanship. The front is intricately engraved with a naturalistic scene featuring a swallow in flight amongst flowing grasses, wildflowers, and botanical sprays. A diagonal band of fine dot-and-lattice engraving frames the composition, creating a striking contrast between the fluid naturalistic motif and structured geometric ornamentation. The asymmetrical layout and nature-inspired imagery reflect the influence of Japonisme, a design movement that became popular in Britain during the late Victorian period, inspired by Japanese art and engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe locket opens to reveal space for a photograph or keepsake, preserving its original sentimental purpose. Its polished teardrop bail and balanced proportions make it well suited to wear on a simple silver chain, either as a daily piece or layered with other antique pendants.
