A charming antique 9ct yellow gold locket dating to c.1880, beautifully decorated with fine ivy chasing to the front, a motif long associated with fidelity and enduring love.
The reverse is also attractively chased and features a central blank shield-shaped cartouche, which could be engraved if desired, adding a personal touch to this historic piece.
The locket retains its original faceted jump ring, a lovely period detail often lost over time. Inside remains suitable for storing photographs or small keepsakes, although no glass panels or inserts are present.
Presented in lovely antique condition, this is a beautiful early Victorian locket with delicate detailing and timeless sentimental appeal.
