This Victorian heart locket is a beautifully preserved example of late 19th century sentimental jewellery. Crafted in warm 9ct rose gold, its softly contoured heart form is decorated with finely engraved scrollwork and foliate detailing, balanced by a smooth lower panel. The engraving shows confident hand-cut lines and gentle shading, creating movement and texture that catch the light as the locket is worn.
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 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.
Medium in size and elegant in proportion, the locket opens to reveal space for two photographs or keepsakes, designed to be worn close to the heart as a personal and meaningful treasure.
