Edwardian 15ct Gold Witches Heart Locket set with a Natural Split Pearl

729T
120 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a good plump 15ct gold locket that was made circa 1900-1910. It is a lovely witches heart shape with its bottom curved to one side. These hearts were originally worn as amulets to protect against evil eyes and from witches stealing milk or harming newborn babies. In Scottish culture it is called the Luckenbooth heart, and in the 18th century the token implied that the giver had become “bewitched to fall in love” with the recipient. In the centre in a square shaped setting is a natural split pearl. It opens to reveal a compartment for a photograph.
