Don't miss the chance to be the owner of this unique piece of history!

These pieces are often very rare and precious and typically have a lot of history associated with them because of their age.

This 18K yellow gold French Victorian locket from 1870 is designed to look like a coat of arms. From the center of eleven carré cabochon cut turquoises surrounded by eight triangular set rose cut diamonds to a frame in between two twisting gold threads, this archetypal shape is repeated.

Only this one-of-a-kind jewel, dangling from an engraved Greek meander flanked by an elegant scroll, can represent such a formal declaration of devotion.
We discovered antique photographs of a man and a woman whose memories are still preserved within this locket.
