Victorian 15kt Diamond & Pearl Wreathed Gold Locket

About the Item

A fabulous and unique locket from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This large piece has a shield-like shape and is made of 15kt rose gold. In the center is an oval shaped locket face which has a crystal face. The locket is framed by a gorgeous wreath design which displays intricately detailed yellow and rose gold leaves. A sterling flower rests at the top and the bottom, each of which holds a single diamond at its center and surrounded by 6 seed pearls. Along the sides of the piece are several diamonds that alternate with natural seed pearls and dangling from the bottom are 3 vessels. The back of the locket displays a gold-framed piece of glass that flips up to reveal a spot for a colored piece of fabric or for a favorite photograph. Which ever you choose to place in the locket is seen through the front of the piece. A large etched bail at the top of the pendant makes it perfect for attaching to a complimentary long chain. This outstanding piece is beautifully made and would make a wonderful addition to any collection! The pendant hangs approximately 4 1/8" long, is 1 7/8" at the widest point, and slightly more than 1/4" thick.

  • Victorian Inlaid Gold Quartz Locket Pendant
    Located in Narberth, PA
    Gold-in-quartz was formed while the earth was still in its molten state. During the cooling and solidification process, veins of gold became trapped with the crystals of quartz in the mine. This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. Jewelry crafted from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's. An unusual and gorgeous gold quartz locket...

  • Victorian 15kt. gold seal fob with carnelian intaglio and family motto
    Located in Braintree, GB
    This antique 19th-century seal fob/pendant, crafted from 15kt. yellow gold features a Carnelian intaglio depicting what is possibly the crest of the Carmichael family or clan, along with the French phrase 'Toujours Prest,' which translates to 'Always Ready' in English. Created in England during the 1870s, this piece showcases exceptional artistry and meticulous attention to detail. Its authenticity is confirmed through X-ray analysis, adding an extra layer of assurance to its value. Dimensions: Length x Width x Height: 2.4 x 2.1 x 3.8 cm Weight: 22.9 grams Condition: This pre-owned item shows age-related wear but is in good overall condition, as depicted in the accompanying pictures. The motto 'Toujours Prêt' is recognized in standard British heraldic sources as belonging to several families. Originally a war cry or slogan, mottoes began appearing with coats of arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, although they weren't commonly used until the 17th century. It's important to note that mottoes are often an optional component of a coat of arms and can be added or changed at will. The Carmichael surname traces back to a barony in Lanarkshire, granted to the Douglas Family by Robert the Bruce in 1321. Prior to this, Robert de Carmitely held lordship in Cleghorn around 1221, and William de Creimechel witnessed a charter in 1225. Sir John de Carmychell held a charter for the lands of Carmychell between 1374 and 1384 from William, Earl of Douglas. The Barony of Carmichael was formally confirmed to the head of the family in 1414. Sir John de Carmichael of Meadowflat notably fought alongside Scottish mercenaries in France against English invaders led...
