Highly distinctive and as sweet as can be.

A ravishing and romantic Edwardian treasure.

In the late Victorian and Edwardian period, lockets were manufactured with solid Gold fronts and solid Gold backs - to clarify the metal at the front is a sheet of solid gold and the metal at the back is also a sheet of solid gold. The sides, hinges, bails and sometimes the loose frames inside are usually a sturdy base metal that has been gold plated. The reasoning behind such construction is that gold is a soft metal and lockets are by default opened and closed regularly.

Using a sturdier metal than gold meant that they were less likely to buckle or break.

Looks fabulous when worn.
