Some jewels seem as though they were made to hold a heartbeat. This Victorian heart locket glows with that unmistakable warmth. Soft rose gold curves into a gentle, rounded silhouette, and at its center, a tiny starburst set with a bright ruby and six luminous pearls. It feels like something exchanged quietly across a parlor, wrapped in promise, meant for only two people in the world to understand. Even now, more than a century later, it carries that hush of sentiment, that little thrill of being chosen.

Handcrafted in about 1890, this locket is made in 9 karat gold, unmarked but tested. Its singular round ruby of approximately 2.5 mm sits at the center with six pearls measuring about 2 mm each, surround it in a classic Victorian star motif. Inside, the original heart-shaped frames remain. The piece measures 28.5 mm north to south including the top loop, 20.9 mm across, and 8.2 mm thick, and it weighs 5.1 grams.

This is the kind of locket that doesn’t simply store a memory, it deepens one. A small, radiant keepsake for the romantic who knows that the best stories are worn close to the heart.
