Antique 18K Victorian engraved locket with pearls Antique 18K Gold locket French Napoleon III Locket Gold Locket gift for her

Late Victorian locket of remarkable beauty, crafted in 18K gold and marked with a double eagle head inside the locket's border, indicating its high gold purity. This exquisite piece showcases two distinct engravings on each side, adding to its unique charm. The front side features a captivating arrangement of natural pearls, with five larger pearls and ten smaller ones adorning the center part. It's important to note that one of the pearls has been replaced with a stone resembling a pearl, albeit with a black dot in it.

The locket closes securely, providing a safe space to store cherished photographs or treasured memories. Despite its age, this locket is in good antique condition, with only minor micro scratches and very light teeth that are virtually imperceptible when worn.

On the back part of the locket, there is a tiny hole that has no impact on the locket's overall strength and integrity. Similarly, the top back part has a small hole that becomes noticeable only when the locket is opened and held against a light source. The bail, which attaches the locket to a chain or longguard, is exceptionally thick and shows no signs of age, ensuring a secure and confident wear.

Despite these minor signs of age, the locket remains robust and is an exceptionally rare and luxurious piece to be adorned with. Its intricate character and mirror-like effect, reflecting light with brilliance, create an enchanting allure that captivates the beholder.

This rare French Napoleon III locket, crafted in 18 ct gold, is a true gem that deserves a place in your collection. Its timeless beauty, exquisite craftsmanship, and captivating features make it a cherished treasure, evoking the opulence and elegance of a Bygone era.
