An antique 9ct gold locket dating to c.1880, featuring a polished bloodstone panel set to the front. The deep green tone of the stone contrasts beautifully with the warm gold mount, giving the piece a strong yet refined presence.
The reverse is intricately chased with a floral design, centred by a heart-shaped cartouche with a delicate forget-me-not flower above — a motif long associated with remembrance and sentiment.
The locket opens to reveal space for two keepsakes and retains two glass inserts, allowing photographs, keepsakes, or mementoes to be displayed securely.
With a weight of 6.9 grams and measuring 30mm in height and 17mm in width, it offers elegant proportions while remaining wearable and versatile.
A well-balanced Victorian piece combining gemstone, engraving, and sentiment in one design.
