About the Item

Created in the 1870s-1880s, this pendant locket is composed of turquoise, split seed pearls, and 15K gold. The oval pendant is diagonally set with intertwined braids of cabochon turquoise flanked by split seed pearls and a sawtooth motif, opening to double glazed compartments. A beloved antique form elevated by a dynamic and colorful motif, this unusual locket holds two images of loved ones near the heart. Item #: N-21311 Country: most likely England Circa: 1870-1885 Dimensions: 1.75" length, 1.5" width. Materials: Split seed pearls; Cabochon turquoises; 15K Gold Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: In Victorian Jewellery by Margaret Flower notes that lockets were the "most popular neckware of the Seventies." Lockets might be suspended from a substantial gold chain, or, for a change of pace, from velvet strap. Jeweled lockets containing images and other sentimental mementos were one of Queen Victoria's favored gifts to her children and grandchildren.
