Victorian 15ct Pearl & Ruby Star Locket
A beautiful locket from the late Victorian period, c1890s. The locket is made from solid 15ct gold and the gold has a wonderful, rich yellow colour indicating that it has also been gilded on top of the 15ct gold. The pendant has a beautiful star design on the front, which is set with split seed pearls. At the centre of the star is a stunning deep pink ruby. Around the edge of the locket is a halo of flowers and simple filigree detail. The beauty of this piece is that the back contains a secret. The plain back can be slid out to reveal a hidden compartment; perfect for your own treasures or momentos to be held. A lovely piece in lovely condition.
The locket will come on a 14kt gold chain similar to the one pictured
