The Locket is perhaps the most mysterious and alluring pieces of jewellery. Only the wearer knows what secrets lie within the locket. It has to be the ultimate love token. During the Victorian era, young Victorian women would hide a picture of a man they admired, if the man offered up a lock of hair a marriage proposal usually would follow. Lockets were considered a statement of an intention to marry.
Our sweet tiny heart locket features charming engravings on the front and plain on the back. The locket is set in solid 9ct yellow gold. The inside of the locket can hold two pictures.
The pendant has a number of marks indicating the piece was hallmarked in 1958 in Cheshire and set in 9ct yellow gold.
