Antique Victorian 9ct Gold Mourning Locket
Description
Step back into the deep sentimentality of the Victorian era with this poignant 9ct gold mourning locket. Masterfully crafted with an engine-turned technique, the intricate patterns on its surface reflect the period's dedication to fine detail and artistry. The locket, which uniquely opens from the front, reveals an inner chamber housing meticulously arranged hair—a deeply personal and cherished Victorian custom to memorialize loved ones.
Mourning jewelry, and particularly lockets with hairworks, were emblematic of the era's approach to grief and remembrance. These pieces served as intimate keepsakes, allowing the wearer to keep a tangible part of their departed loved ones close to their heart.
This locket, with its intricate design and deeply personal interior, is more than a piece of jewelry. It's a testament to love, loss, and the enduring human spirit, echoing the emotional depths and intricate artistry of the Victorian age
