Edwardian Sterling Silver & Purple Enamel Tudor Rose Locket

This Edwardian locket features a beautifully detailed Tudor rose design, highlighted in rich purple enamel that adds depth and contrast against the silver.

The Tudor rose, combining the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster, became a powerful symbol of unity and heritage in England. Its continued use in jewellery reflects themes of loyalty, identity, and tradition, making lockets such as this both meaningful and decorative. During the Edwardian period, lockets remained popular as keepsakes, designed to hold photographs or small personal mementoes close to the wearer.
