A charming antique 9ct gold locket dating to c.1880, beautifully chased with the timeless motif of forget-me-not flowers. The front features a detailed spray of these sentimental blooms, symbolising remembrance and enduring love. The reverse is equally graceful, with a blank shield-shaped cartouche—ideal for personal engraving—framed by a forget-me-not on either side.
The locket opens to reveal two compartments for storing cherished keepsakes or photographs, making it as practical as it is meaningful. Crafted in warm 9ct gold with finely executed detail, this Victorian treasure is a wearable symbol of memory and affection.
