Rare Georgian era 18k gold heart locket pendant
As one of the most enduring emblems of love and romance, it is not surprising that we are very excited to be able to purpose you this rare heart locket pendant dated back to the 18th century, the Georgian era.
At its heart, quite literally, lies a locket adorned with two heart-shaped brown glass windows. The closing mechanism, positioned at the joint of the hearts, is more than just a practical design; it symbolizes the unity of two souls merging into one, capturing the essence of love in its purest form. This profound symbolism imbues the pendant with a depth of meaning that transcends mere ornamentation.
While the locket's transparent windows offer a glimpse into its inner sanctum, they also serve as portals for personalization. Whether it be cherished gemstones or precious photographs, the possibilities are as boundless as the imagination. With each glance, the wearer is reminded of the cherished memories and sentiments held close to their heart.
The pendant is stamped with a rare leave discharge hallmark in use between the year 1789 and 1792 in Paris, as well as a French owl hallmark for 18K gold re-stamped recently.
In a world where expressions of love come and go, our Georgian era heart locket pendant stands as a timeless symbol of enduring affection and undying devotion.
