Antique enamel and diamond necklace with lockets set into the back
Here is a necklace that is so beautiful from near or far and a wonderful testament to the style of the mid-Victorian era in which this was made.
Dating from the 1870's, the necklace was made in 15 carat gold and laid out from end to end it measures 40.5cm in length and sits perfectly around the neckline. However it is the three drop sections combined with the lower chain connecting them that really makes this piece stand out.
The two side drop measure 4.2cm in length and the centre one 5cm, and not only is it set with a pearl in the centre like the side one, but it is also set with six rose cut diamonds that capture the light beautifully. These drops really are magnificent to admire and make you appreciate the elegance of the Victorian era in which this was made.
And then there is the final pièce de résistance to this necklace to take it even further into making this even more special and personal. The back of each of the drops has been fitted with a locket that once photos of loved ones are placed inside, will make this so much more special and personal to the wearer.
This is such a magnificent antique necklace that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom.

Antique early Australian antique brooch locket made in the 1870’s
This antique brooch is not only so exquisitely detailed and made, but a wonderful example of early Australian jewellery which has become increasingly sought after and collectable in recent years.
Made in the 1870's in 15 carat gold, the colour of the gold has wonderful rich colour that looks amazing set against any outfit. The brooch is set with one rich burgundy coloured garnet and two chrysoberyls that have a lovely soft yellow-green colour that sit perfectly against the warm tone of the gold.

With the brooch measuring 36.2mm across by 74.1mm, this will certainly stand out on any outfit and get the admiration that it rightly deserves every time that it is worn. The workmanship is as good as one could ever hope to find on early Australian jewellery and to make this brooch even more exciting, the front hinges open to reveal a locket compartment.
And to complete the picture, it still retains its original fitted box adding that extra charm to an already truly exceptional brooch.
This is a superb example of early Australian jewellery work at its finest.
