PRECIOUS MEMORY

With the development of photography, a completely new possibility also arose in the world of jewelry.

For the first time, it was possible for many people to acquire small portraits of their loved ones in the form of photographs and carry them with them at all times in so-called photo lockets.

Just like this gold-plated photo locket from around 1890/1900. 

Heart shapes are extremely rare to find.

The heart on the front shows a turquoise in the middle, surrounded by ten small freshwater pearls.

The edges of the amulet  are  decorated with baroque-style raised scrolls.

The back of the medallion is smooth and also very finely and discreetly chased.

This antique medallion is gold-plated brass and dates from around 1870/80.

The matching fine chain has a spring ring and is also gold-plated.

The romantic antique locket is beautifully preserved and shines with its rare heart shape.

A beautiful, playful locket with chain from around 1870/80.
