Edwardian 15ct Gold Kidney Bean Locket

978X
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

Kidney beans symbolise fertility, growth, endurance, longevity, and new beginnings. Because of these meanings, they were often used in antique jewellery, especially during the Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco eras. This little 15ct gold bean opens to reveal a glazed kidney shaped locket and was made circa 1910.

What a charming present to celebrate the birth of a baby perhaps.

Ollys Pick

A rare little bean indeed!
