An evocative Late Victorian locket from circa 1900. This oval locket is crafted in warm 15ct buttery yellow gold and measures a substantial 50 x 40 mm — a wearable statement piece with true antique presence. Lockets are intimate objects: they carry memory, sentiment and the stories of those who wore them. This example, with its hand engraved monogram on the front, offers a tangible connection to a past life — a small, personal shrine of affection and identity that feels all the more poignant because it is well over a hundred years old.

The quality of the gold is immediately apparent in the rich, mellow hue of the case, while the expertly executed monogram demonstrates a level of hand craftsmanship rarely seen in todays modern production. Each engraved stroke and delicate flourish speaks to the craftsman’s skill and patience — details that machine engraving cannot replicate — making the locket not only a keepsake but a miniature work of art.

More than a relic, this locket invites you to create your own stories. Place a family portrait, a lock of hair, or a folded note inside and wear your memories close to your heart. Imagine new generations adding their own images and moments — a living heirloom that begins with you and is passed down, fuller and richer with each wearer.

Versatile and modern in its styling potential, the locket translates beautifully into contemporary wardrobes. Worn long over a summery dress or layered with fine chains against a shirt, it lends an heirloom warmth to everyday looks. Paired with tailored jackets or an evening dress, it becomes a refined focal point, equally at home in casual or formal settings. Because of its scale, it reads clearly at a distance yet remains discreet and intimate close up.

For collectors and anyone who values meaning in their jewellery, this 15ct yellow gold Late Victorian locket is an irresistible chance to own a piece of history that becomes uniquely yours. Make new memories, hold your loved ones close, and begin a family tradition with an object whose beauty and sentiment deepen with every generation
