- About us
Our vintage 1980s locket features an ornate engraving set in a heart design. The heart shaped locket opens to reveal two areas pictures could be placed. The locket hangs from a new 9ct gold chain. The locket has a number of hallmarks indicating the piece is from Birmingham, made from 9ct gold in 1986.
The Locket is perhaps the most mysterious and alluring pieces of jewellery. Only the wearer knows what secrets lie within the locket. It has to be the ultimate love token. During the Victorian era, young Victorian women would hide a picture of a man they admired, if the man offered up a lock of hair a marriage proposal usually would follow. Lockets were considered a statement of an intention to marry.
