Victorian Gold Shield Locket

A lovely little locket from the Victorian period, c1890s. The locket is made from 9ct gold and is a pretty shield shape. To one side, a shield shaped sardonyx has been set and to the other, it is a bloodstone. The bloodstone is a lovely dark green with plenty of red speckles. The sardonyx appears mainly white with a hint of an orange border. To the inside, there are two frames, which can be removed to place your own photos inside. The locket is in lovely condition with a pretty engraved border round each of the stones.

The locket will come on a 14kt gold fill chain similar to the one pictured.
