This elegant Victorian heart locket is a timeless keepsake of love and craftsmanship. Made in 9ct yellow gold, its surface is beautifully engraved with flowing foliate scrolls framed by a fine border — a delicate design typical of late 19th-century romantic jewellery.
The locket is crafted in 9ct gold back and front, meaning both the front and reverse panels are solid gold, while the internal framework is brass metal for durability. This traditional Victorian technique was celebrated for combining elegance with practicality.
The locket opens to reveal space for two photographs or keepsakes, its warm tone and soft curves making it a classic piece for daily wear or a meaningful gift.
