Antique Gold Locket with Diamond & Engraving Circa 1900

No jewelry gift is as timeless as a locket. For centuries, lockets have been cherished tokens for loved ones. Since the Middle Ages, they have held sentimental value; during the Georgian era, they were often filled with a painted miniature of a beloved person. In Victorian times, pieces like this typically contained a lock of hair, while modern versions commonly include a photo of a family member. Lockets symbolize love, family, and personal style. 

This particular Victorian locket features a reversible gold pendant, set with an antique diamond on one side and engraved with a monogram on the other. It measures one inch across and showcases an acid-wash finish, giving it a soft, velvety glow that enhances its elegance when worn. Remarkably, this locket is just as wearable today as it was 125 years ago.
