Description
This classic Victorian locket, handmade in rich 15ct gold, features a precisely inlaid checkerboard of carnelian and bloodstone, and was made in England around 1880.
The reverse opens to reveal a functional locket compartment, once used for a portrait or a lock of hair.
The deep red and forest green stones, both forms of agate, were prized not only for their durability but also for their symbolism, strength, courage, and protection.
Measuring just 2cm across, it remains elegant and effortlessly wearable even after 160 years.
