Summer Hits Auction LXV
Lot 228:
A lovely late Victorian 18K gold locket, the front and back covers worked in a stippled texture with engine-turned engraving along the borders. The front is further enhanced with a spray of vivid blue forget-me-nots and green foliage. In Victorian flower language, forget-me-nots symbolized true love or the desire to be remembered—either one a very fitting sentiment for a locket. The back cover has a monogram reserve that was never engraved. The interior retains the original frames and glass on both sides. The bail is stamped with French 18K gold marks. Origin: France, ca. 1890 Condition: excellent, enamel intact Dimensions: 7/8” x 1-1/4” (excluding bail) Weight: 6.4 grams
Condition: Good
