全部拍賣 / Jewelry & Gems / Victorian Locket Made of Gold and Approx. 1.90 ct Old Cut Diamonds


A picture, a lock of hair or perhaps even a small letter: people have always kept small, private memories of their loved ones. And what could be more natural than to wear them close to the heart? Lockets were perfect for this - open enough to show affection, yet mysteriously closed off from prying eyes. This locket takes up this idea in a particularly beautiful way. Created in the last years of the 19th century, it appears in the most romantic of forms: a golden heart. The two lids are made of soft reddish gold, pleasantly flat, and the front is set with 24 shimmering old-cut diamonds. In the center is a particularly beautiful stone weighing around half a carat, set in a star-shaped recessed setting - the star in the heart, so to speak. A total of around 1.90 ct of diamonds are set. The back is adorned with a ligated monogram, presumably that of the first owner. A clip eyelet made of white gold was added later, so that the locket can also be practically attached to a pearl necklace. Presumably made in England, this magnificent locket is a beautiful example of the sentimental design language that the Victorian era loved so much, perfect for really wearing close to the heart.
