Victorian 9ct Gold Triple Photo Locket with Engraved Floral Design
This exceptional Victorian locket is beautifully engraved with an intricate shield motif to the front, surrounded by delicate floral and scrolling details, while the reverse features a continuous pattern of flowing floral and swirl engraving. The piece has a substantial feel and opens via a double hinge to reveal space for three photographs, making it both a decorative and deeply personal item.
Lockets were among the most cherished forms of sentimental jewellery during the Victorian period, designed to hold images or mementoes of loved ones close to the wearer. Ornate engraving, such as the shield and floral motifs seen here, often symbolised protection, love, and remembrance, enhancing both the visual appeal and emotional significance of the piece.
