A beautiful Victorian oval gold locket dating to the late 19th century, featuring intricate hand-engraved decoration to the front with an elegant interlocking scroll motif, finely detailed foliate engraving and scalloped edge.
The locket opens to reveal an original antique portrait photograph of a gentleman in formal attire, adding an extra layer of historical charm. This could also be used for holding your own personal mementos.
The piece acid tests as 9ct gold, though professional testing indicates approximately 8ct, which is common with Victorian gold alloys and historic manufacturing standards.
A lovely wearable antique piece that works beautifully as a pendant and a classic example of Victorian personal jewellery.
