This Victorian locket pendant is crafted in silver-plated brass, weighs exactly 25g and measures 2.5 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and 11mm deep.
This authentic Victorian locket pendant of ovular format, inspired by mid-Victorian Sentimentalism, depicts the full-length portraits of a mythological Greek female figure and a winged cherub, possibly a rare portrait of 'Cupid', a Greek minor divinity whose arrows 'made gods and humans fall in love' as Greek mythology would have us believe, and his mother 'Venus'. Depicting the two figures in a tender and romantic embrace, the portrait is immaculately carved 'en relief' within an orbicular silver-topped brass plaque, with all delicate features of the two characters rendered with precision and exquisite artistry.
This intriguing pendant is a sentimental piece of jewelry featuring a locket compartment to conceal a lock of hair or photograph of a loved one, or any other memento of personal significance, and features a triumvirate bale of pronounced size. Lovingly worn for over a century, this Victorian locket pendant has survived the passage of time with perseverance and is in good condition, except for a minor fracture on the inner glass of the locket compartment.
