ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Although crafted in gilded metal, here is one of the most unusual, ingeniously designed and engineered Victorian pendant lockets we've ever come across (and Victorian lockets are one of our specialties). Created by William Devenport of the United Kingdom, circa 1900, and measuring a striking 1 7/8 inches, the top half hinges downward to reveal twin locket compartments, while the bottom opens to reveal a container or pillbox. A collectible keepsake artfully hand-engraved on both sides. The classic Victorian gold-filled 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.
