Vintage 1976 Oval Swan Silver Locket Necklace
Description
Swans have a royal connection, the Crown claimed ownership of all the mute swans in England and Wales in the 12th century. These beautiful birds are still to this day protected by the Queen of England. In the Victorian era swans symbolised purity and grace.
Vintage 1970s necklace featuring a large oval locket with a beautiful engraved design, depicting a swan and reeds. The lockets opens to reveal two areas where pictures can be stored. The locket hangs from a long vintage silver chain.
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.
