This stunning Victorian locket, dating back to the late 1800s, adds a beautiful unique charm to any look. Crafted with three rubies this locket is perfect for preserving special memories. The black enamel family symbol on the back adds a subtle touch of elegance.

 

Condition:

This locket is in excellent antique condition. It is missing one of its frames inside. The enamel on the back is a little worn and some minor sections are missing, normal due to its age. The stones show signs of wear, with some scratches and a few chips. However, these are small and wear is difficult to spot without magnification.
