Antique Victorian Double Sided Gold Locket Necklace
Description
This Victorian oval locket is a beautiful example of 19th-century craftsmanship. The front features intricate engine-turned engraving with a central oval cartouche and a delicate buckle motif at its base — a Victorian symbol of loyalty and an unbreakable bond. A faceted border frames the design, catching the light from every angle. The reverse carries a matching engraved pattern.
Inside, a rare double photograph frame, preserving the locket's original sentimental purpose.
MATERIALS
The locket is crafted in 9ct yellow gold back and front, meaning both the front and reverse panels are solid gold, while the internal framework is made from a stronger base metal for durability. This traditional Victorian construction allowed lockets to retain the look and feel of solid gold while remaining lightweight and practical for everyday wear.
The locket hangs from a new 9ct yellow gold chain.
