A striking Victorian sterling silver locket with bold detail and impressive scale. The front is framed with radiating star embossing around the entire circumference, bordered by applied ball beading that gives the edge structure and definition.
At the centre, an applied sculptural rose rises from the surface, creating depth and contrast against the textured background. The combination of embossed stars, beadwork, and raised floral detail gives the piece strong visual impact when worn.
It opens to reveal space for two photographs or keepsakes and retains two clear acrylic panels, ready for use.
A substantial and decorative example of 19th-century silver work, ideal as a statement pendant or addition to a serious locket collection.
