Elegant Victorian mourning locket in polished black onyx with an engraved silver AEI to the front and a glazed compartment to the reverse containing a pressed forget-me-not.
AEI is traditionally interpreted as Amity, Eternity, Infinity - a Victorian expression of enduring friendship, remembrance, and everlasting devotion. Paired with the forget-me-not, one of the nineteenth century’s most beloved symbols of memory and affection, the locket embodies the sentimental language that defined Victorian mourning jewellery.
A beautiful statement piece balancing graphic simplicity with powerful symbolism.
Presented on a black velvet ribbon and comes with a fine silver 50cm chain and antique lace length.
Condition: Excellent antique condition.
Locket is 6cm x 3.5 cm including bail.
