About the Item

An elegant Victorian mourning locket, finely crafted in 10-karat gold-filled metal and adorned with a hand-carved hard stone cameo. The front is enriched with subtle multi-colored enamel accents, reflecting the refined decorative sensibilities of the late 19th century. The locket opens to reveal a hidden interior compartment, traditionally intended to hold a lock of hair or a miniature photograph. The original glass cover is no longer present, consistent with age and historical use. An unsigned yet beautifully executed piece, acid tested to confirm gold-filled construction. Measurements: Height: 1.38 in. (excluding bale) Width: 1 in. Weight: 6.5 grams Condition: Good antique condition overall. The locket opens and closes securely. Light wear and minor enamel loss commensurate with age. Interior glass cover is missing; inner fitter ring remains in place and is not removable.
