ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

The fine (and lost) art of intricate hand engraving is in full flower on both sides of this ultra-lovely Victorian locket from late 19th century Great Britain. The front is decorated with a lush hand-engraved floral design, while the reverse centers on an unengraved shield surrounded by highly detailed engraved geometric patterns. It opens to reveal a double compartment that displays a photo inscribed with "Yours March 1914" on one side and woven locks of hair on the other.  A work of wearable artistry and a consummate keepsake in 18K yellow gold. The new chain measures 18 inches.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
