A good example of mid-to-late 19th century mourning jewellery, this large Victorian vulcanite locket features a high-relief design of birds nesting to the front.

Vulcanite is a hardened rubber compound used extensively in mourning jewellery due to its dark appearance and ability to be intricately moulded.
