This book locket features a vibrant blue enamel cross and opens like a sacred text, offering a private space for mementos.

Lockets with Christian motifs were especially meaningful in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, serving as both jewellery and wearable reliquaries. They symbolised the intertwining of faith and personal devotion, often worn as protective talismans or memorial objects.

Solid Gold Locket, circa 9-14ct

Warm yellow gold locket, likely 14ct, constructed from a single gold sheet with soldered inner joins. Hinges match the piece with no visible brassing. Un-hallmarked, but the colour and craftsmanship suggest a mid- to high-carat solid gold construction.

Inner compartment glass is intact.
