Antique oval locket, this metal locket has a dark patina. A sentimental piece of jewelry, circa 1900. The exterior is completely smooth, without engravings, which enhances its intimate and understated character. The interior consists of two compartments framed by gilt rings: one with a purple taffeta lining and the other with a glass protector containing an antique lock of braided hair against a gold background.
These lockets were used as keepsake jewelry, very common in Victorian and Edwardian times, when preserving a lock of a loved one's hair was a symbol of eternal love or prolonged mourning. The ring allows it to be hung on a chain or ribbon around the neck.
A genuine piece of sentimental jewelry with a strong symbolic and emotional meaning, in very good condition considering its age.
