Antique sterling silver hand engraved photo locket from the 1890s

So beautiful and elegant, there is no doubt that this antique sterling silver hand engraved photo locket will always be loved and admired every single time that it is worn.
The detail on both sides of this locket is just gorgeous and the difference between machine engraved lockets or lockets that have been stamped out on a press compared to hand engraving such as in this locket is immeasurable. The quality of hand engraving in this locket is amazing and the hours needed to engrave this locket would have been immense.
Made in sterling silver, the locket measures 31.5mm across by 39.9mm or 56.3mm to the top of the bail and will easily slide along a chain to be worn around the neck.
Able to hold two photos inside, there is something so much more special and personal about wearing photos of people that you love around your neck making an antique locket so much more wonderful and exciting.

Description

Antique sterling silver hand engraved photo locket from the 1890s Victorian era.
Since the invention of photos in the late 1830’s, photos have become pivotal in our life not just for documenting pivotal moments in history, but on a more personal level, taking the photo of someone close to us.
Whereas now we are so used to using our phones to photo anyone and everything, years ago there was nothing more special than having the photo of someone or your family perhaps inside a locket worn around your neck.
This lovely sentiment makes any locket so much more personal and there is nothing quite like a genuine antique locket being worn around your neck.
