This beautiful Victorian heart locket captures the era’s enduring sentiment for love and remembrance. Crafted in warm 9ct yellow gold, the softly rounded, puffed form is delicately engraved with a foliate motif surrounded by a zigzag border — a design that reflects the romantic artistry of the late 19th century.
The locket is gold back and front, meaning both outer faces are made of solid gold, while the internal framework is strengthened with a supportive brass metal core. This traditional Victorian technique ensured the locket was both lightweight and durable, maintaining the rich glow of gold where it’s most visible while withstanding daily wear.
Opening to reveal its two original frames, the locket is ready to hold cherished photographs or keepsakes.
