An elegant Edwardian 9ct rose gold locket, beautifully hand-chased with intricate decoration to the front. The warm blush tone of the rose gold complements the detailed chasing exceptionally well, allowing the craftsmanship and delicate engraved patterns to stand out with a softness that is particularly characteristic of the period.
The locket opens to reveal space for two personal keepsakes, photographs, or treasured mementos. The interior panels have been fitted with acrylic replacements rather than the original glass — noted for accuracy, while still allowing the locket to be worn and enjoyed as intended without affecting its outward appearance.
A wonderful antique example in very good condition, with the chasing remaining crisp and well-defined throughout. A timeless piece of Edwardian sentimental jewellery with both decorative appeal and historic charm.
Era: Edwardian, 1901-1909
