Two swallows soar among blossoming flowers, a symbol of love and longing beautifully engraved onto this Victorian oval locket. Crafted around 1880 in 9-karat gold, this "back and front" piece—the front and back made of gold with a sturdy metal core for the frame—offers both elegance and practicality. The romantic imagery of swallows, often associated with safe returns and enduring devotion, adds a poignant charm to this heirloom treasure.

Inside, it awaits your photos or keepsakes, with frames intact to safeguard your most cherished memories. Weighing 5.4 grams, it’s a light yet meaningful adornment.

A perfect gift for a romantic at heart or a meaningful addition to your own collection, this locket carries whispers of Victorian sentimentality, ready to hold and protect the moments that matter most to you.
