INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ITEM

ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Intriguing to observers (they wonder what's inside) and personally satisfying to the wearer (you know what's inside), lockets are lovely little treasure holders. Whether a photo or a lock of hair, these wearable miniature galleries allow you to keep someone--or something--cherished close to your heart. This Victorian beauty, generous in size (1 1/8 x 1 3/4 inches) and lavishly hand engraved with a different design on each side, opens to reveal two pictures (quite possibly parents and their daughter) and suspends from a cable chain by way of an engraved bail. While you might choose to replace the pictures of the family with your own, there's also the option to allow them to remain in what has been their home for so long as you ponder what their lives might have been like. Crafted in 15K gold. The 14K chain adjusts from 18 to 20 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.
