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.

Hand engraved antique photo locket from the Victorian era of the 1890's.
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.
