A truly magical piece of antique Georgian mourning jewellery.
This early 19th century locket is designed as a padlock, circular in shape with a hairwork border and beautiful tiny cannetille and floral detailing in rich 18ct yellow gold.
Such delicate and fine craftsmanship, these types of locket or pendant were often worn as a symbol of love, the image of the padlock with a key and a heart literally means the key to my heart.
This is likely a mourning piece which makes it even more sentimental as it also embodies remembering a loved one that holds the key to our heart.
The locket opens up so can hold a photograph or picture or even a tiny memento, it is currently empty.
The perfect piece for the collector of mourning or Georgian era jewellery, these pieces are increasingly difficult to find.

Early 19th century, Georgian era, unmarked, electronically tests as 18ct gold to most areas, locket bezel frame tests 9ct and the heart is gold plated.
