Antique hand engraved locket with grapes on one side
There is something so beautiful about antique photo lockets, from the design down to the detail, as well as the symbolism many used in the design, such as this beautiful antique photo locket that has a bunch of grapes on one side.
Made in 15 carat gold in the late Victorian period of the 1890's, both sides to this beautiful locket look so beautiful and have been expertly and exquisitely hand engraved. The immense amount of time needed to hand engrave this locket would have been incredible and is a testament to the quality and attention to detail that was put into this locket.
Grapes are believed to have been the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, and they have been said to signify fertility, sacrifice, hospitality, and charity. It as said that to dream of grapes foretold to the maiden that her husband will be cheerful and if the dreamer was in love, the grapes foretold of a speedy union, with much happiness in the marriage. It is because of this, grapes will often be seen in antique jewellery in not only Victorian jewellery, but even pieces much earlier.
Measuring 28mm across by 33.5mm, this is the perfect size to be able to wear all the time and inside it will hold two photos.
With such beautiful engraving on both sides, it truly will not matter which side is facing forward when being worn, as each are so beautiful to admire from near or far - indeed the closer you get to it, the more you can appreciate how much detail there is.
Its incredible to think that this was made well over 100 years ago, and is not only still in wonderful condition, but just as beautiful today as when it was made.

Victorian era antique locket in sterling silver and green gold
With such a beautiful design on the front, this sterling silver antique locket dates from the 1890's and has a wonderful floral design on the front that is highlighted with green gold.
Gold can be alloyed with other metals such as copper to produce rose gold, and while not common today, modern green gold is made it is a very soft green-yellow colour, however years ago it was made by adding cadmium to the alloy resulting in a stronger colour. While never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced especially when set against sterling silver as can be seen here on the front to emphasise the leaf design.
This subtle colour comes through so lovely and adds such a wonderful unique aspect that makes it so much more unique than any modern that is just mass produced today.
With a gorgeous border as well as a design running vertically down the front, the locket measures 36.5mm across by 44.8mm or 57.2mm to the top of the bail.
Able to hold two photos inside, this is such a beautiful example of a genuine antique locket that will always be admired and loved.

Antique bloodstone seal with a secret photo locket compartment
Antique jewellery is so often so unique with such wonderful features and characteristics that are no longer seen in modern jewellery, and this is exemplified here in this amazing antique seal that hides a secret photo locket compartment in the base.
Going back as far as Roman times, after a letter was sealed with wax, the writer would stamp the still warm wax with his or her seal to prevent the wrong person from opening the letter, as once broken, the wax seal could not be used again. Remaining popular all through the Georgian and Victorian periods right up to the Edwardian era when this one was made, the look of seals are always so unique to one another and look wonderful on a necklace.
Made in 9 carat rose gold in 1906, the beautiful scroll work on the seal alone is so wonderful to admire as is the bloodstone set into the base of the seal.
The base measures 21.6mm by 18.1mm and stands 24.7mm high and the colour of the rose gold has that wonderful warm tone to it that has achieved such a wonderful patina to it.
Opening the base where the bloodstone is set reveals a secret photo locket that makes it so much more special and unique than any other locket or seal. Antiques are made all the more wonderful in thinking who owned and wore this seal and whose photo was placed secretly inside.
From near or far, this will not only always be admired, but also be such a wonderful conversation starter.
