Antique Heavy Gold Diamond Turquoise Locket Pendant

There’s a softness to this locket that speaks of devotion that’s quiet, constant, and tucked close to the heart. Its surface glows with the mellow sheen of antique gold and at the center blooms a turquoise forget-me-not, cradled in a halo of rose-cut diamonds like dew on a petal. Inside, a finely rendered portrait of a bearded gentleman gazes out, somber and steady, a witness to memory.

Crafted in the Victorian era around 1870, this locket is made of 18 karat gold, with a 15 karat gold bale, both tested. The centerpiece holds six turquoise cabochons measuring 5 x 3.5 mm surrounding a 3 mm rose-cut diamond, with an additional 54 rose-cut diamonds, each 1 mm, encircling the floral design. It measures 54.6 mm tall including the bale, 31.6 mm wide, and 15.6 mm thick, and weighs 21.2 grams. There are no marks. Chain is not included.

A romantic keepsake and exceptional example of period craftsmanship, this locket is both jewel and relic, an heirloom of sentiment wrapped in gold and light.
