A charming original Victorian sterling silver Mizpah locket. Mizpah was a popular sentiment during Victorian times, roughly translating as "The Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from the other"
One side is engraved with Mizpah in a pretty floral and foliage design with the other decorated in flourishes, forget-me-not flowers and a central cartouche to engrave a monogram should you wish.
The locket opens to reveal two original silver picture rings to frame your precious photos. The hinge is in perfect working order with the locket closing securely with a satisfying snap. A lovely locket, very sweet and sentimental!
We have added a new Italian sterling silver trace chain for immediate wear. Our chains are made in Italy and are fully hallmarked and super quality. The silver is oxidised to give an antiqued finish which is perfect for wear with these Victorian lockets.
MATERIALS: 925 sterling silver throughout, tested
SIZE: 1-1/4" (33mm) high, 1" (25mm) wide and 6.3mm deep
MARKS: None
DATE: Circa 1880
CONDITION: Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and tarnished solder inside. The bail at the top has worn quite thin but it is stable and we have priced the locket with this in mind. If you wanted to wear the locket constantly it would be a good idea to reinforce the bail to prevent further wearing away. Please refer to the photos.
