This beautiful antique English 9ct locket is a medium to large size and it hails the Victorian Aesthetic era circa 1880. The gold is a subtle rosy reddish colour, a gorgeous shade that is characteristic of old gold.

The locket is beautifully hand-engraved in a romantic design with sweeping swallows and climbing roses decorating both sides. It has a lovely pillowed profile and opens from the side to reveal 2 photo stations along with satin and card liners and it has a gold picture frame on the shallower side. The top of the locket has a 6mm gold jump ring attached which will happily accommodate most gold chains.

A gorgeous generously sized antique locket that is steeped in romantic sentiment. The Swallow is a beloved Victorian jewellery motif that speaks of love and loyalty - Swallows mate for life - and the Rose well, it is the universal flower of love!

We will include a new Italian vermeil (rose gold plated sterling silver) baby belcher chain shown in the photos. We have them in 16" & 18" lengths so please make a note at checkout which length you want.
