Lockets

He was gone for a long time, maybe a year, maybe two. It was a sea Captain’s life and he wore the honor proudly. Sometimes though, when the clouds were heavy and the sky was dark, he’d think of home and his stomach would knot ever so slightly. He’d remember how his wife smelled of freshly baked cakes, and that grin on her face when he told a bad joke. He remembered his daughter, running through the backdoor with muddy shoes from playing near the pond. So, in his locket he kept the smallest of portraits of them, both smiling, both happy, both waiting for him to come home. 

This handsome antique shield shaped gold locket was handcrafted in Birmingham, England, in 1905. Detailed engravings on the front feature a shield surrounded by swirling vines and steady lines.

Inside this regal locket are two frames, shield shaped and ready to hold your favorite photographs. The overall measurements are 31.5 x 18.2 x 5.6 mm. It weighs 5.0 grams.

She was like a daisy in a field of violets, different in a beautiful way. She liked old time movies, preferably in black and white, where the ladies said more with side-eye glances than words, and the men knew how to wear a bolo tie. If the occasion called for a dress, hers would be long and flowing, elegant and darling, like Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief, with a Victorian pendant of her own. Of course, if the invitation brought her to a beach she was the one who could be found in that itty bitty yellow polka dot number, reading a risqué novel on a neon shaded towel.

They spent the weekend at their parent’s house in the country. By the end of Friday night, they needed a break and went on a quick getaway to the nearest gas station. It was the only place open within 20 miles. They sang to old Willie Nelson songs and commented on the inky blue sky. They’d been sisters for 30 years and best friends the entire time. The eldest held a locket in her hands, with photos of the two of them. The first was from last summer, when they found themselves in bikinis on a pontoon, drinking lemonade, and jumping off the boat. The second was from a family reunion, years and years ago. She had been four-years-old and her sister had just turned three. They were throwing water balloons and cupcakes at each other; they’re mother was laughing, as their father picked her up.

The receiver of this locket was clearly held with a high admiration. It dons the blue buckle symbol for The Order of the Garter, founded in 1348 by King Edward III. It’s an Order of chivalry and the third most prestigious honor one can receive in the United Kingdom today. The Order of the Garter buckle symbolizes holding a loved one close.  

Rumor has it, the Countess of Salisbury was dancing with the King. Upon twirling, her blue garter fell to the floor, revealing itself to the entire ballroom. Courtiers laughed at her expense until the King picked up her garter, placed it on his own leg, and declared, “Shame on him who thinks evil of it!”. Hence, the blue buckle symbol on this handsome locket. 

This Antique Mid Victorian gold locket pendant boasts an Order of the Garter buckle on the front and a photograph of a gallant gentleman on the back. It was handcrafted in England in 9 karat gold and has been acid tested. Ornate engraving graces the front of this oval pendant, surrounding a blue enamel buckle. A shield is engraved at the very center. This piece weighs 3.2 grams and measures 26 x 19.2 x 4 mm. 

Personalize this piece with your own photograph or engrave an initial onto the front shield. Gift it as is, for it’s very special and very intriguing, indeed.

A strand of pearls has been the ladies accessory of choice for millennia, and will likely continue to be the classic standard of adornment for millennia to come. Sometimes a simple strand of smooth and shimmering beads is perfect all on it’s own, but at other times it begs for a little something extra. Some pendants are made to be the perfect addition to a strand of pearls, that little something more that turns a simple strand into an enticing necklace. This wonderful pendant could also be worn on a chain, but hanging on a strand of pearls is where it’s really meant to be! 

This hand crafted, locket backed, pendant is set with a glowing burgundy garnet at it’s center. The 11 mm garnet is surrounded by ten beautiful and shining creamy white half pearls, these are extremely well matched and seem original to the pendant, they measure between 5 and 6 mm each. The top bale is set with an additional three pearls and has an open style bale that makes it easy to hang over a pearl string or wear on a golden chain or even a simple cord. The pendant measures 31.5 mm north to south and 21.3 mm across and weighs 7.2 grams. This lovely pendant/locket is not marked but we’ve acid tested it and it’s crafted in 18 karat gold. 

This wonderful Victorian piece was most likely made in England around 1880.

Sometimes, I imagine the history of people. Take the woman inside my locket, maybe her photograph was taken just before she burst out laughing at her husband as he screamed at a spider that fell from the ceiling. He knocked over a chair just to find out it was only a piece of a rusty autumn leaf blowing around the room with open windows.

It was the first time she met his family. He said they were welcoming and wonderful, as if anyone from the South couldn’t be. She was city, he was country. She felt out of her element in sticky hot weather with dragonflies and lightning bugs floating around in it. He gave her a present to calm her nerves, or at least take her mind off of the pressure. It was a locket with a picture of the two of them from last summer on the lake. Her new touch stone relaxed her and she had a second helping of jambalaya. She even drank the bitter moonshine with his crazy Uncle Jack, all the while laughing like she’d never laughed, all in the Southern heat.

He was everything to her, the one she would grow old with and sit on park benches with, watching pigeons peck the ground. So she decided to take him with her, until her own bittersweet end. All she had to do was close her eyes to feel his charisma, to see his ingenuity, to hear his chuckle. All she had to do was clench her locket, breathe deeply, and know he was next to her.

Victorian mourning jewelry was worn by both men and women after the loss of a loved one. Queen Victoria lost her beloved Prince Albert when she was merely 42 and stayed in mourning until her death nearly 40 years later. Traditionally, keeping a lock of hair made sense to the surviving since photography wasn’t very common. Families wanted a part of who they lost, and in many cases, they creatively crafted it into something beautiful.
