Antique Victorian Engraved 9ct Yellow Gold Locket Necklace
Description
This antique Victorian locket, made with 9ct yellow gold, is a stunning example of intricate craftsmanship from the era. Both the front and back are heavily engraved with ornate designs, giving the piece a bold yet elegant presence. The locket’s interior is crafted from brass, while the exterior is a gold back and front construction, marked to indicate its authenticity and quality. The rich, warm tones of the yellow gold bring the intricate engravings to life, making this locket a piece of history reimagined for today.
Lockets like this were beloved in the Victorian era as symbols of love and devotion, often worn close to the heart with hidden photos or mementos. This locket continues that tradition, allowing the wearer to keep cherished memories tucked inside. More than just an accessory, it’s a modern heirloom—a testament to enduring beauty and meaning, crafted to connect past stories with present moments.
Gold back and front lockets were a popular design during the Victorian era, featuring solid gold on the outer surfaces with a more durable metal, such as brass, used for the interior. This technique allowed for the beauty of gold to be showcased while ensuring the piece remained lightweight and sturdy.
