Victorian Banded Agate & Enamel Gold Locket Pendant c.1880s

£1,300.00

Description

An English pendant locket from the 1880s, set in 15ct yellow gold and centred with a high-domed cabochon banded agate in rich black, white, and deep rust tones. The bezel is edged in fine blue and white enamel, detailed and intact, framing the stone with quiet precision.

Where the pale band meets the brown, a fine red fire appears in certain light — subtle and unexpected, a natural phenomenon caught in stone.

The reverse opens to reveal a working locket compartment - designed to hold a photograph or small keepsake. It’s beautifully made, with weight and proportion, and the colours have depth with a flash of fire. At 4.5cm long and 3cm wide, it wears with presence but never overstates.

Available exclusively at E L T O N S, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.





A very elegant, wearable and collectible piece of Victorian jewellery.
