Victorian 18K Gold Enamel Cherubs & Dog Locket Pendant
A truly enchanting 19th-century Victorian-era locket pendant, crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and adorned with a beautifully executed miniature portrait depicting two cherubs accompanied by a loyal dog. Finely enamelled with remarkable precision, the scene comes to life through soft pastel hues of pink, blue, and green.
Rich in symbolism, the cherubs represent love, while the dog—an enduring emblem of loyalty and devotion—adds a deeply sentimental dimension to the composition. The miniature is framed by elegant laurel wreath motifs with a pearled bow on the bottom.
The locket features a glass back, allowing you to insert a treasured photograph, lock of hair, or keepsake while still being able to admire it through the transparent panel.
A rare and romantic survivor from the 1800s, this beautiful locket is a one-of-a-kind heirloom jewel, perfect for collectors and lovers of antique sentimental jewelry.
The chain on the photos is not included in the listing.
