Antique Victorian 9ct Gold Round Locket Necklace
Description
This antique Victorian round locket is a refined example of late 19th-century sentimental jewellery, crafted in warm 9ct gold with a beautifully textured exterior. The surface is decorated with alternating panels of engine-turned engraving and polished gold, creating subtle contrast and depth. This style of fine geometric engraving was characteristic of the Victorian era, prized for its craftsmanship and understated elegance rather than overt ornamentation.
The locket is made in 9ct gold front and back, meaning both the front and reverse panels are solid gold, with a traditional internal framework designed for strength and longevity. This construction allowed Victorian lockets to remain lightweight while retaining the appearance and feel of solid gold pieces.
Classic in scale and quietly decorative, the locket opens to reveal space for photographs or keepsakes, intended to be worn close to the heart as a personal and meaningful treasure. It sits beautifully on the neckline and layers effortlessly with other antique or modern chains.
