About the Item

A striking antique locket (circa 1910), featuring a beautifully modeled lion and lioness in high relief, framed by a graceful crescent of pearls and accented with red leaded glass accents. The bold imagery and romantic symbolism—strength, partnership, and protection—are hallmark themes of early 20th-century sentimental jewelry. The reverse of the locket bears engraved initials (possibly FJV), adding a touch of mystery and personal history. The piece measures approximately 2 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom by 1.5 inches wide and weighs 15.75 grams. In very good antique condition, this locket is an evocative example of Edwardian-era craftsmanship, perfect for collectors who appreciate expressive animal motifs, symbolic adornment, and beautifully preserved gold-filled jewels.
