Description

Rare and highly collectable genuine antique Georgian Era Rose Cut Diamond Heart Locket. This beautiful locket features pave prong set foil backed rose cut diamonds set into a silver topped gold mount. It is not possible to measure antique rose cut diamonds set in this manner, we estimate that there are two carats of diamonds in the locket plus a one small accent Ruby. The locket easily opens and closes with a small space for a special memento to be tucked inside. Traditionally this may be a lock of hair, dried flower, and in modern times - a photo. The back is a clear crystal so that your special keepsake can be viewed without opening the locket and kept close to your heart while wearing. Jewelry from this time period was for the landed wealthy only and was all custom made to order. Each piece from this era is truly a one off bespoke piece of wearable art. The workmanship is fine with hand engraving around the outer edges and is beautifully constructed, a true testament to the quality is that it can still be enjoyed as intended to this day! This piece has patina from the hundreds of years that it has been handled, worn, and loved. The silver top has darkened as well as the silver foil backing behind the edge diamonds. This original condition is prized by collectors, as such we will not attempt to remove any tarnish but if the new owner desired they could have the darkened silver polished. We have shown how it might look when worn with a antique watch chain we have available in another listing. This listing is for the pendant only.You can view video of this locket on my Instagram page Vanessaatheritagejewerly
