{"product_id":"antique-victorian-9ct-gold-locket-style-41419","title":"Antique Victorian 9ct Gold Locket Style Breloque Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautifully crafted Victorian 9ct gold locket-style breloque pendant, richly engraved on both sides to offer two distinct and equally decorative faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne side features a romantic heart and keyhole motif — a timeless symbol of a “locked heart,” suggesting love held close and secrets kept safe. The reverse is adorned with delicately engraved floral flourishes and flowing scrollwork, centred by a vacant epaulette-shaped cartouche ready to be personalised with a monogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe locket opens neatly from the side to reveal two interior compartments. One retains its original photograph frame with glass cover and fabric liner, while the deeper compartment would traditionally have housed a lock or weave of hair — ideal now for a second photograph or a small personal keepsake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with a solid gold, front, back and over-sized bale, the deep sides are heavily gold-cased providing both strength and durability — a practical and well-considered construction typical of quality Victorian pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is in very good antique condition. The engraving remains crisp with the locket closing securely with a satisfying snap. There is little wear to the locket edges on the keyhole side at the top near the bale. The interior shows visible soldering consistent with period manufacture, neither of which detracts when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA versatile and deeply symbolic Victorian love token — equally suited to a watch chain or worn as a statement pendant.\u003cbr\u003e\nDetails\u003cbr\u003e\nMATERIALS: 9ct yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\nMEASUREMENTS: 2cm (7\/8\") diameter, 6.2mm depth\u003cbr\u003e\nBALE: 11 x 6.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWEIGHT: 5.6 grams\u003cbr\u003e\nDATE: Circa 1880\u003cbr\u003e\nHALLMARKS: Unmarked, acid tested as 9ct gold\u003cbr\u003e\nAt Mercy Madge we offer quality antique and vintage jewellery sourced in Great Britain.
