Hand engraved antique photo locket
With both sides as beautiful as one another, this hand engraved antique photo locket is just so beautiful and shows the level of attention and detail that went into making it over a century ago.
There is such a difference between modern machine engraved lockets or more commonly lockets that have been stamped out on a press compared to hand engraving such as in this locket. The level of craftsmanship is nothing short of spectacular and the hours needed to engrave this locket would have been immense.
Made in 9ct yellow gold, the locket measures 22.8mm across by 28mm or 38mm 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 compared to just looking at them on a phone.
This really is such a lovely antique photo locket from the Victorian era, and one that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Nothing is more personal that a locket around your neck with photos of those dear to you inside, and here is a lovely antique sterling silver and rose gold locket made in 1883.

Antique lockets are so unique and special, and this one in both rose gold and silver is just glorious.

Here is a beautifully engraved antique locket in 18ct gold that dates from the late Victorian era of the 1890's and looks so beautiful no matter what side you look at.
With so much detail, this locket was engraved with so much detail that would have taken hours upon hours to complete.

The locket measures 32mm by 26mm making it the perfect size to wear on a chain around the neck everyday, and the beautiful colour of the 18ct yellow gold just enhances the delightful engraving.

Rare antique family photo locket
Here is such a rare antique family photo locket that holds not 2, 3 or even 4 photos, but an incredible 6 and not only this, but also has the most exquisite hand engraving on both sides.
Dating from the Edwardian era of the early 1900's, this antique family locket measures 31.4mm across by 33.6mm or 38.7mm to the top of the bail and allows to have 6 photos each 12mm in diameter inside making such a delightful impact once opened.
The case is a 9ct rose gold back and front locket meaning that it has a solid plate of rose gold that was pressed over a metal to allow it to be strong enough to hold the photos inside.
As the front and back are solid gold, this was able to be expertly hand engraved on both sides as can be seen in the images. Hand engraving is always so much more finer and detailed than machine engraving and adds to the charm and character of this locket even more.
An incredible and rare antique photo locket that will be made all the more personal and special when photos of the family are placed inside and worn around the neck.
A truly special piece.

Antique ruby and pearl locket
Here is an absolutely delightful and charming antique ruby and pearl locket that looks as good as a pendant from the front as it does with the ability to have a photo of a loved one worn close.
Made in 15ct rose gold, the colour alone of the rose gold is just so gorgeous and has that wonderful warm colour so desired by many.
