Antique Victorian 9ct Rose Gold Round Locket Necklace
Description
Antique Edwardian 9ct rose gold round locket. The design on the front of the locket is reflected on the back of the piece. The locket opens to shows two areas to place pictures.
The locket hangs from a new 9ct rose gold chain. On the back of the locket it has a number of faded marks indicating the piece is 9ct back and front, meaning the interior is not gold although the front and back of the piece is 9ct gold. During this period many lockets were made with brass interiors for strength.
The Locket is perhaps the most mysterious and alluring pieces of jewellery. Only the wearer knows what secrets lie within the locket. It has to be the ultimate love token. During the Victorian era, young Victorian women would hide a picture of a man they admired, if the man offered up a lock of hair a marriage proposal usually would follow. Lockets were considered a statement of an intention to marry.
