Antique Victorian 14K Gold Locket Pendant with Woven Hair, Memorial Jewelry
About the Item
This elegant antique Victorian locket pendant, crafted in 14K gold, is a beautifully preserved piece of 19th-century jewelry. Designed to hold a cherished memento, the locket reflects the sentimental traditions of the Victorian era, where lockets were often used to keep a loved one’s portrait, a lock of hair, or a small keepsake close to the heart.
The front and back cover feature a finely detailed guilloché pattern, a decorative engraving technique that creates a mesmerizing, repetitive texture. At the center, a smooth circular panel adds a refined contrast, possibly intended for personalization or engraving. Surrounding the locket is a striking twisted rope border, adding dimension and a luxurious touch to the overall design.
The locket features a glass-covered compartment that encases an intricately woven section of hair, a common practice in 19th-century mourning jewelry. This tradition symbolized love, remembrance, and devotion, making such pieces deeply personal and historically significant. The locket is attached to a decorative swivel bail, allowing it to move freely when worn on a chain.
Measuring 2.2 cm in width and 3.3 cm in length, with a weight of 3.35 grams, this piece is both delicate and substantial enough for daily wear or special occasions.
Victorian lockets like this were more than just jewelry; they were deeply personal items that carried emotional and historical significance. Today, this rare and collectible locket remains a timeless piece of jewelry, perfect for those who appreciate antique craftsmanship, sentimental keepsakes, and fine gold jewelry. Whether worn as a cherished heirloom or added to an antique jewelry collection, this Victorian locket is a beautiful piece of history.
