Victorian Onyx Mourning Locket circa 1860-1890

£425.00

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 45cm chain. 

Condition: Excellent antique condition.
