Overview:
Finely detailed antique Victorian diamond & enamel locket/pendant (circa 1880s to 1900s) crafted in 14 karat yellow gold.
Rose cut diamonds total an estimated 0.18 carats (estimated at J-K color and I1 clarity).
The blue enamel locket features a floral display set with old rose cut diamonds. The back of the locket contains an old photo with what appears to be flower petals. The back of the locket is hard to open and we have chosen to leave it alone so as not to damage the piece. Lockets were cherished by Victorians as a way to memorialize a loved one.
The pendant is in very good original condition. We have not cleaned it in order to preserve the patina and collector value.
