A beautifully engraved Edwardian heart-shaped locket crafted in 9ct gold, dating to around 1910. Its elegant proportions are enhanced by a subtle taper to one side of the heart, giving the piece a softer, more natural silhouette than the perfectly symmetrical examples more commonly encountered.
The front is richly decorated with hand-engraved scrolling foliate decoration, executed with the crisp precision expected of the Edwardian period. The asymmetrical point at the base lends the locket a distinctive character, while the warm gold and flowing engraving create a refined balance of texture and light. Designed to hold a cherished photograph or keepsake, it remains as wearable today as when it was first gifted over a century ago.
The locket remains in excellent antique condition, with beautifully preserved engraving and only light age-related wear consistent with careful ownership. A timeless Edwardian keepsake with exceptional craftsmanship and enduring sentimental appeal.
One acrylic pane present.
