Antique 18K Art Nouveau Locket Antique French Pendant Gift for her

Antique 18K Art Nouveau Locket Antique French Locket Gift for her

This exquisite 18K solid gold Late Victorian / Art Nouveau round locket features a delicate red berries motif, very popular in the late XIXth century sentimental jewelry, especially during the Aesthetic and early Art Nouveau periods.
Capturing the timeless beauty and luxury of the era, the front of the locket is adorned with prong-set red glass stones. The intricately engraved leaves surrounding the berries add texture and elegance, crafted in a very light green gold tone for a stunning contrast. This locket is a perfect example of antique craftsmanship with its luxurious design.

The cross hindge borders on the front and back of the locket adds to the overall luxurious feel. It imitates a bamboo or twisted-rope frame which became fashionable from the 1885 onward, influenced by the Japanese aesthetic trend in late victorian designs.

Inside, the locket offers space for storing cherished photos or precious mementos, making it not only a beautiful accessory but also a keepsake holder. The exterior of the locket gleams with a mirror-like shine, reflecting its surroundings in photos, while its deep yellow gold tone enhances its rich, historical appeal. Despite some light tarnish and micro scratches consistent with age, this piece is in excellent antique condition.
This rare and elegant French locket is a meaningful addition to any collection or a perfect gift for someone special. Its blend of beauty, history, and practicality makes it a treasured heirloom that will be cherished for years to come.
