Product Details

A wonderfully substantial very large antique sterling silver locket, affectionately nicknamed “George”, with beautiful hand-engraved detail and a deeply satisfying weight in the hand. This striking oval locket is crafted in solid sterling silver and features ornate floral and foliate engraving to the front, with a delicately engraved reverse depicting a bird in flight within a decorative border. The scale of this piece sets it apart — it is notably larger than standard antique lockets and makes a powerful statement when worn. The locket opens smoothly to reveal its original glazed interior, currently housing an old photographic portrait, adding to its historical charm and emotional resonance. The hinge and closure are secure, and the piece wears its age honestly, with surface marks and gentle patina consistent with long life and use. A true sentimental keepsake, perfect for lovers of antique jewellery, Victorian portraiture, or bold heirloom silver pieces. ⸻
