The graceful golden bow resting at the top lends it a deeply sentimental air, while the tiny rubies and pearls set along the sides add flashes of crimson and cream like little hidden secrets. Most enchanting of all is the mysterious dark locket panel at the center, smooth and reflective in a way that invites questions. Mourning jewel? Hidden photograph? A cherished keepsake carried close for decades? Whatever its original story, it still holds that unmistakable sense of intimacy that only Victorian jewelry seems capable of preserving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted around 1900, this Victorian frame locket pendant is crafted in 9 karat gold and fully hallmarked \"9 CT.\" The round photo locket features two rubies measuring approximately 2.5 millimeters each, together totaling approximately .14 carats, alongside two 2.5 millimeter pearls. The pendant measures 43 millimeters north to south including the bale, 30.3 millimeters across, and 4.1 millimeters deep, weighing 6.0 grams. The elegant bow motif bale allows it to hang beautifully from a chain, while the ruby and pearl accents lend warmth and refinement to the design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictorian jewels often blur the line between ornament and memory, and this one does so especially well. It has the quiet gravity of something once treasured deeply, a small golden keepsake carrying echoes of affection, remembrance, and devotion more than a century later. Romantic, elegant, and wonderfully evocative, it is a beautiful example of Victorian sentimental jewelry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer free layaway on most items purchased for full retail price, please inquire if you are interested in setting up a layaway.
