Victorian Gold and Pearl Frame Locket A Glimpse into Another Time

Who is this cheeky chap, with his big front teeth and curious sailor’s smock? The hand-painted portrait of a bright-eyed little boy greets us from one side of this charming locket, his pale eyes full of youthful mischief. Turn it over, and a stern yet caring mustachioed man gazes out—likely the boy’s father. This is a locket that captures a family moment from a century ago, its delicate glow of pearls and gold adding a timeless touch to these intimate portraits. Made in England around 1900, it was designed to hold memories close, a tiny time capsule for the sentimental heart.

Crafted from 15 karat gold, confirmed by the '15ct' mark on the reverse, this frame locket is surrounded by a circle of lustrous pearls, enhancing its elegant form. It measures 46.5 mm north to south, including the bale, and 37.6 mm across, with a thickness of 7.2 mm. Weighing a solid 14.4 grams, its front and back feature crystal panes, originally made to hold mementos like a flower, a lock of hair, or another cherished keepsake.

A perfect way to carry a memory or a treasure, this locket captures the spirit of Victorian sentimentality and the beauty of everyday lives frozen in time, ready for a new chapter to unfold.
