Early Victorian Garnet Enamel Memorial Locket Pendant
$ 1,573.00 $ 1,850.00
Alas for Poor Mrs. Lucy Boggett, she passed away at what today is the very youthful age of 49. Not, really, though, back in the time when Lucy Lived, the average life expectancy wasn’t much more than 40, even 30 was considered pretty old. So, at 49 Lucy must have seemed a much distinguished old lady when she died on March the 27th of 1834.
This wonderful Georgian pendant is decorated with a beautiful foliate pattern in black enamel around a lovely central cabochon of rich maroon garnet. The reverse is engraved at the top with “In Memory Of’ in elaborate Gothic script and underneath is inscribed “Mrs. Lucy Boggett, died 27 March 1834, aged 49”.

Mizpah Silver Locket Engraved Front and Back
$ 493.00 $ 580.00
He left her with a kiss and a small leather box trimmed in gold. She stood and watched the trail of dust from him horse until he was smaller than a speck and the dust settled to earth. She knew, deep in heart, that he would come back to her, but the pinch she felt deep inside was a real pain. Worry, concern, prayer, she knew they’d be her constant companions until he returned.
When she could no longer see any sign of him, when her eyes were sore from straining on the horizon, she turned them down to the box in her hands. Even though she’d been holding it, she was somehow surprised to see it, she had forgotten it was there. With a slightly trembling hand she untied the ribbon, rolling it carefully for future re-use as was her habit, and tucking it into a pocket. She thought she could feel the heat of his hand still on the box. When she flipped it open, she gasped a little. A beautiful silver locket lay in a maroon velvet interior, on the front was one word “Mizpah”, and her heart opened as the pinch loosened a bit.
A Mizpah is a promise, a watchtower, a promise to return, a prayer and a wish that the lord watch over the receiver until the giver should return. This Mizpah locket has a giant M on the front which is formed from conjoined branches of wood, a further Victorian nod to love, as love knots were popular and they drew a direct line to the knots in wood as well as a knot made from rope.
This wonderful locket was hand crafted in sterling silver on the front and back laid over an interior metal frame, what the English call a ‘back and front’ locket. Beautifully detailed and of an excellent size, this lovely locket is just so sentimental. This one measures 55 mm from top to bottom and 37 mm across, it’s 11.2 mm thick and weighs 19.2 grams. This locket is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested to verify its silver content.

Antique Victorian White Enamel Gold Frame Locket
$ 1,071.00 $ 1,260.00
Imagine a time before photography, before we had cameras in our pockets all the time, before most people had even heard of such a contraption as a camera. How would you remember your loved one without so much as a photo? If you were lucky and a person of means perhaps you would have a portrait of them, but for most people, the easiest and most common moment was a lock of hair from the head of the dearly departed. This hair was woven into elaborate designs, sometimes so finely done that it looks more like fabric than hair. The hair was used in all manner of jewelry, in rings and earrings, in bracelets and bangles, but mostly it was put into lockets. These lockets were often enameled with black enamel, but sometimes, especially if the person who was being remembered was quite young, the enamel was done in white.
This crystal frame locket likely once held a lock of hair from the head of deceased young person, now it is empty and ready to hold just about anything you like. A photo, a flower, a bit of verse, a bit of earth, a bit of sand, or even some of your favorite gems; all would be happy living in here. The locket is set with either glass or crystal, I can’t actually tell, it has no bubbles nor inclusions. The frame is white enamel over 15 karat gold, it measures 44.7 mm from top to bottom and 34.9 mm across, it is 5.6 mm thick. This round enamel locket weighs 8.6 grams.
Hand crafted in England in about 1870, this gorgeous locket comes with a story to tell, what that story is, I leave that up to you!

Romantic Victorian 15k Gold Locket with Love Birds and Ivy
$ 1,530.00 $ 1,800.00
It wasn’t the cut of his suit that made her fall for him; not the tilt of his hat or his rakish smile. No, she noticed those things, she liked them, but it was his eyes that had her from that very first moment. It was a chance encounter, she was crossing Bond Street and slipped on the boards, she hadn’t known he was so close behind her until his strong hands caught her from falling in the mud of the street. He’d smiled and set her upright and the smile had gone all the way to his twinkling eyes. She knew in that moment that she wanted to look into those eyes every day for the rest of her life.
Instant Ancestor’s is what we call them. You can call then what you like, long lost great-grandparents, who knows? I fell in love a little with this locket on the outside but when I opened it and saw these two, I had to have it. Her perfect Victorian Jewelry, his fabulous mutton chops, I mean, come on!
This large 15 karat gold locket is engraved with two love birds and a field of roses on the front and with ivy leaves on the reverse (often ivy had the sentiment of ‘I cling to thee’). This sentimental Victorian beauty was hand crafted in England in about 1880, even the bale has been engraved with a lovely checkerboard pattern and the locket would originally have been worn on a gold collar, which is why it has this jump ring at the top. In fact, I think that there is a very good chance that she is actually wearing this locket in the portrait! This locket measures 57.2 mm from top to bottom and 30.2 mm across, it is 9.4 mm thick. The locket is unmarked by tests as 15 karat gold and it weighs 15.8 grams.
This wonderful Victorian Grand Dame of a locket has a silky smooth feel and soft velvety patina.

Art Deco Enamel Silver Locket Pendant Lavendar White
$ 536.00 $ 630.00
Enameling, in some form or another, has been around since the 13th century BC. It took a long time to perfect it, though, some form of metal had to be used with early enamel, to hold each color distinctly apart from its neighbor (interesting note, these little metal bars were called cloisons, hence one name for this type of enameling is cloisonné). In the 15th century the technique of painted enamel was perfected and suddenly the cloisons were gone and wonderful, rich details could be gleaned from this once mosaic-like art form.
This Art Deco locket was hand crafted around 1920. It’s done all in silver and then machine turned to produce an overall engraved pattern, then the locket was fired with a rich opaque white enamel and a fluid lavender enamel which is translucent, giving it a look of constant movement. The shape, the concentric circles, the depth of the enamel covered engraving, all combine to make this a very dynamic piece. The face of this locket measures 37.3 mm from the top of the bale and 28 mm across, it’s 5.4 mm thick. This one opens easily and closes with a nice little snap; it weighs 8.1 grams.

Sold Out - $ 2,423.00 $ 2,850.00
On their first date, they rode out into the country for a picnic. It was a somewhat formal affair, there were friends and chaperones. The picnic had been laid out when they arrived, and there were cheese and cured meats and crusty bread along with fruit and pickles and sweets, little meat pies and small iced cakes shaded from the sun. There was champagne and they drank and laughed and she found him a four leaf clover amongst the grasses. She opened the small notebook he’d brought along and placed the leaf between the pages. ‘For luck’, she told him.
On their third date he took her to a restaurant, it was just the two of them this time. When the waiter arrived with champagne, he placed a small tooled leather box next to her glass. She opened the boxed and drew in her breath. Inside was the most exquisite rock crystal locket, its edge was set in gold and studded with banded agates and under the thick crystal dome was the four leaf clover, magnified larger than life. She took the pendant from the box and he stood and came around the table to put it on her. When he clasped in the back he leaned close to her ear and whispered, ‘you’re my luck’.
This fabulous Victorian locket was hand crafted around 1860-70. It contains a high domed oval of cabochon cut rock crystal in a frame of 18 karat buttery yellow gold.

They had been married for two days when they set off for Paris. They arrived a week later, it was spring time in Paris, the most beautiful time of the year. They were there on their honeymoon and they would attend the Grande Opening of the Exposition Universelle of 1900, the World’s Fair. They would see the stunningly elaborate Porte Monumental on the Place de la Concorde, ride the Grande Roue, the tallest ferris wheel in the world. They would wander the Champs-Élysées and the fabulously impressive and newly finished Grand Palais. The Palace of Electricity and the Water Castle were her favorites. On their last day he bought her a locket to remember the fair by. It was in the new Art Nouveau style that had been featured so prominently throughout the fair and in the streets, buildings and art of Paris. She loved it, and him, and decades later when she bounced their grandchildren on her knee she told them the story of the locket and of those magical day in Paris when the world was shiny and new.
Hand crafted in about 1900, this stunning slide locket features a woman in profile. She wears a tiara and a collar of rose cut diamonds and is done in elaborate detail.

This hand crafted signet ring has shoulders that are made to look like armor plating, complete with rivets and overlapping details. The top of the ring is a locket or a secret compartment, made to hold?? I don’t know what? A secret? A poison? A lock of a lovers hair? I suspect it’s held many things over the years, as it was likely made in about 1870, and certainly made in England.

Lovely Georgian Pear Shaped Vinaigrette Locket Pendant Sterling Silver
$ 833.00 $ 980.00
When this gorgeous little Vinaigrette was made the streets of London, and really of any big city in Europe, were unpaved and trodden by horses. Horses that pooped. A lot. What was a lady to do when the streets were constantly offensive to ones sense of smell? Well, they had one of these, a Vinaigrette, a small trinket that was made to hold a sponge soaked with perfume. A lady would open it up and breath in a much improved scent. We don’t have these problems with horse paddies as much today, but there’s many a time on a subway in Manhattan at rush hour that I wouldn’t have minded having a Vinaigrette handy!
This Georgian beauty was hand crafted in sterling silver in the shape of pear. It is 34 mm high and 18 mm across at the widest part. Inside is a small cavity with a silver grate which would have held the sponge. The pendant was originally hallmarked but it’s gotten warn and the marks are no longer legible. This wonderful piece has been carefully acid tested for purity and weighs 4.7 grams.
Hand made in England in about 1820.

Antique Victorian Charming Double Sided Banded Agate Locket Made of Pinchbeck
$ 323.00 $ 380.00
The thing I love most about Victorian jewelry is the sentiment behind each piece. To my delight, the Victorians used agate throughout the era, with its greatest popularity being the mid-1800’s. It was used to create all sorts of pieces - cut out flowers that showed off the stone’s layers, cabochons in Etruscan Revival jewelry, in cameos, in mourning jewelry, etc..
This locket was a part of this ‘need for agate’ obsession. Those suspicious Victorians believed agate protected you from thunder, sorcery, poison, and demonic possession. Basically, it was a talisman for all of life’s ailments, including drunkenness.
A banded agate locket like this could have easily been a way to protect whoever wore it, or whoever's photograph is laid inside. This antique pendant was handcrafted in pinchbeck. It’s oval in shape and measures 28 x 25 x 13 mm and weighs 10.9 grams. Each of the cabochon banded agate stones are in various shades of white and brown. They measure 27 x 22 mm each. This wonderful wearable locket has been acid tested.
This darling piece is awaiting a sentimental photograph of that special someone or furry friend. Although the Victorians might have worn it outdoors during a thunderstorm, I still can’t recommend venturing out into a storm no matter how much agate you don!

Antique Victorian Silver Locket Ivy Leaves
$ 476.00 $ 560.00
He’s a writer, he’s humble when people compliment his prose and he’s bashful when they ask if he’d sign a copy for them.

He’s the one you love and in the locket he gave you, you keep hidden a love letter, folded into a tiny rectangle. It was the first love letter he sent you, nearly two decades ago. You’ve memorized it by now, along with his hand writing, you know how his ‘L’s loop and his ‘E’s never look like ‘E’s.

Art Nouveau Fob Locket Pendant Austrian Amazing
$ 1,428.00 $ 1,680.00
Okay, so it’s been firmly established that I have a very bad weakness for Art Nouveau jewelry (okay, Art Nouveau anything, really). This weakness gets worse as the jewelry gets better. So, you might just have to forgive me if I buy it more for me than for you.

Antique Victorian Enamel Mizpah Locket 9k Gold
$ 833.00 $ 980.00
Do you remember Stevie Wonder singing ‘I Just Called to Say I Love You’? He wasn’t calling because of the autumn breeze or falling leaves, not because it was New Years Day or he had chocolate covered candy hearts to give away. No, he was just calling to say I Love You. From the bottom of my heart. Just Love.
This Mizpah locket is a lot like that song. They didn’t have phones when it was made, though. You couldn’t just show up or text to let someone know you loved them. If you wanted to let them know, to let them know every hour of the day, all year round, like Stevie did, then you’d have to give them something that would let them know. This Mizpah locket was made to be such a thing. A thing to say I Love You.
Hand crafted in Victorian England in about 1880, this wonderful locket was done in 9 karat yellow gold and the front is embellished with blue and white enamel and the term ‘Mizpah’, from the bible this term means ‘May the Lord Watch between Thee and Me while we are Apart, One from Another’. This wonderfully sentimental locket measures 37.3 mm from north to south and 23.3 mm across, it is 9 mm thick and weighs 9.6 grams. It has two frames inside and bears no hallmarks, we’ve carefully acid tested it as 9 karat gold.
Tuck a photo of yourself inside, a lock of hair, a lucky clover. Doesn’t matter, it’ll still be there, saying I love you.

Early Victorian Gold Memorial Locket Pendant Hair Inscription
$ 672.00 $ 790.00
He was her world, the one who grew old and grew gray hair with her, the one who made the tea every day exactly at 4, and who encouraged her to sneak ice cream at midnight. So she decided to take him with her, until her own bittersweet end. She put his blissful memory around her neck, in a golden locket. All she had to do was close her eyes to feel his warmth, to see his dark blue eyes, to hear his laugh as his eyes squinted and that dimple showed up on his cheek. All she had to do was hold her locket, breathe deeply, and know he was next to her.
This sentimental large antique gold circle locket was handcrafted in England, in the 1830s. It’s a round sturdy piece, meant as a memorial locket, made in 18 karat gold with beautiful engraving bordering the front door, and the bale. The front door and the back feature geometrically placed engine turned engravings making both sides look like a swirling golden flower. The overall measurements are 53 x 31 x 9.5 mm and it weighs 17.0 grams. The inside door bears the two inscriptions, The upper one reads “In Memory of S.B.C" and then at some later date, the owner added "Also of my dear Husband George Codd who died 3rd Jan 1841 Aged 48 Years”.

Queen Victoria became well known for staying in mourning for 40 years after the loss of her beloved Prince Albert when she was merely 42 years old. Keeping a lock of hair from a loved one was customary, as families wanted a part of who they lost. In many cases, they creatively crafted it into something beautiful, like this locket.

French Etruscan Revival Sapphire Diamond Locket 18k Gold
$ 1,683.00 $ 1,980.00
In the early 1800s, a tomb was uncovered outside of Rome. It held mysterious gold jewelry of delicate design, with gold beads and twisted wires. These were tombs of an old Etruscan civilization. At the same time, Pompeii was being excavated, a city conquered by the Etruscans long before the Romans took over. These events caused a shift in jewelry design, called the Etruscan Revival, which took place beginning around 1860. A jeweler named Fortunato Pio Castellani claimed to have the knowledge on how to accurately craft jewelry in the careful delicate and detailed way the Etruscans once had. He created replicas of jewels found in these various excavation sites and he did a beautiful job. The techniques of crafting matte and shiny surfaces came back into style, the ways of crafting depth and relief were managed with corded wire. Castellani’s ideas flowed through Europe, all the way to France. Granulation, perfected by the ancient Etruscans, and wondered at due to its complexity and beauty, was now back and taking over all of Europe. An example of this can be seen in this intricate locket with its intricate swirling beadwork.
Hand crafted in France in about 1880, this wonderful gold locket has a fabulous weight and feel. This beautiful locket is set with a row of alternating sapphires and diamonds; two rose cut diamonds and three full cut bright blue sapphires. The locket is a fabulous size, measuring 49.8 mm from top to bottom and 27.3 mm across, and it weighs 12.4 grams. This 18 karat gold locket is marked with French hallmarks, including the eagle’s head mark which identifies its gold content. Inside are two frames with glass covers.
This special locket comes with a little bit of luxury and a lot of charm.

Unusual English Victorian 15k Gold Locket Pendant
$ 1,233.00 $ 1,450.00
When I buy jewelry, I first pick out all the things that I like and make a pile. The I get prices, starting with the things that I want the most and working my way down until I have just a few things left, and I usually pass on the bottom few. This piece was right at the top of my list on my last trip to London, I feel truly madly and deeply for this unusual and beautifully crafted locket.
This locket is just wonderful with its not-so-secretive XO motif, it is a golden and permanent expression of Love. Hand crafted in 15 karat gold, this fantastic locket is marked with an English Registration mark, sometimes called a Kite mark. This mark is a bit cryptic, but in this case it translates to tell us that this locket was registered in April of 1869. This wonderfully three dimensional locket has two frames to hold your photos, it opens easily and closes with a satisfying little snap. It measures 40 mm from top to bottom and 24.9 mm across and it weighs 8.7 grams. This locket has been carefully acid tested as 15 karat gold. (And I should note that while I like it as an X and O motif, it may more rightly be a St. Andrews Cross).
A locket is such a personal thing. I truly think it conveys love more than any other piece of jewelry. To have a photo or memento of a loved one incapsulated in something beautiful and hung around you neck is like wearing a hug from the giver all day long.

Antique Silver Compact Pendant Mother of Pearl Pansy
Sold Out - $ 587.00 $ 690.00
Compacts were becoming popular around the turn of the 20th century. However, makeup wasn’t entirely socially acceptable. If a lady ventured into a beauty store, she would try and sneak in through the back. Some boutiques had secret hidden doors for the most important of the clientele. The idea of blending blush onto your cheeks in public was absurd. So, the clever women of the time decided to hide their powders, creams, and rouge in witty ways. Makeup could be found in pendants, like this piece, brooches, pocketbooks, bangles, and even walking sticks. Lipsticks could be found hidden away in the handle of a hairbrush!
This fantastic compact doubles as a locket. Hand crafted and set with a beautiful mother of pearl pansy on the front, this lovely piece is hallmarked as having been made in 1907. The compact contains it’s original downy puff and would have held powder, likely highly scented. The pendant measures 59.8 mm from top to bottom and 49.4 mm across, it’s 10.4 mm thick and weighs 23.6 grams. Open it up and you’ll find a gilded interior and small mirror set into the lid. The compact is hallmarked on the inside with marks showing that it was made in Birmingham, England in 1907, it also has the makers mark of ‘CS & FS’ for the firm of Conelium Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings Shepherd whose mark was first registered in 1893 and who worked in Birmingham, Chester and London.
The Edwardian era was the beginning of making makeup and compacts culturally acceptable. Even makeup counters were (slowly) being introduced to stores. Women spent hours applying creams to their skin as skin care was the most important aspect of the makeup routine. Rouge for those rosy cheeks, matchsticks for those smoky eyes, eyebrow pencils for that thin brow line, and plotting paper for a light complexion were the mainstays of the era.
