Victorian 18K gold LFG certified Colombian Emerald Diamonds Daisy locket
A captivating treasure from the Victorian era, this exquisite 18K yellow gold locket showcases the refined artistry and sentimentality of 19th-century jewelry. At its heart blooms a delicate daisy flower, centered with a vivid green color, natural emerald of Colombian origin, certified by LFG. Colombian emeralds have long been celebrated for their exceptional color and hue, prized since antiquity by royalty and collectors alike. Their rarity, combined with the unique geological conditions of Colombian mines, has made them the gold standard in the world of emeralds.
Surrounding the vibrant center stone, 12 petals are fully pavé set with 24 rose cut diamonds for a total estimated weight of approximately 0.96ct. The locket’s frame is equally enchanting, with intricate, Etruscan style gold wirework along its border and bale—a hallmark of the 19th-century revival of ancient goldsmith techniques. The bale itself is adorned with natural seed pearls, adding an extra touch of grace and refinement.
Open the locket to discover two interior compartments, thoughtfully designed with a glass window to hold cherished keepsakes or portraits close to the heart.
Enchanting and enduring, this beautifully crafted piece is a timeless addition to any serious antique jewelry collection.
