This magnificent antique Victorian locket and collar is crafted in silver with ornate floral engraving across the front, including depictions of ivy and forget-me-nots, embellished with yellow and rose gold. Both the locket and chunky book-link collar feature fabulous, scalloped borders and the large locket is suspended from a spring ring clasp and contains rims and windows inside, ready to house two cherished photos of loved ones.
Forget-me nots symbolise love, faithfulness and remembrance and were a popular motif on Victorian lockets, often paired with ivy which similarly represented an unbreakable bond, as in the Victorian rhyme; “Close clings the ivy to the tree, so in my heart I cling to thee”.
This grand Victorian locket and collar necklace originates from the late 19th century and has been passed down and beautifully preserved across generations. It showcases the era’s opulence and exceptional craftsmanship and is a bold statement piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Victorian history.
