There is a charm Victorian hearts possess, a quiet confidence, a sweetness that doesn’t try too hard and an elegance born from sentiment rather than extravagance. This one, with its tiny grid of turquoise and pearl starbursts, feels like a love token that once lived inside a velvet-lined drawer, waiting to be chosen for the day. Its soft, rounded curves and rosy glow make it seem almost warm to the touch, as though it has faithfully kept all the stories entrusted to it.

Handcrafted in about 1890, this heart locket is made in 9 karat gold, unmarked but tested. The front is set with four turquoise cabochons of approximately 1.5 mm each and five pearls, one measuring about 2.3 mm and four at 1.5 mm, arranged in a charming pattern of star-cut and diamond settings. The locket measures 28 mm north to south including the bail, 20.6 mm across, and 7.5 mm deep, and it weighs 5.3 grams.

A darling keepsake piece, it carries that unmistakable Victorian tenderness. It is a little jewel meant to hold something precious, worn close so the heart remembers what it loves.
