Edwardian 9ct Back & Front Heart Shaped Locket with Swallow Motif

909L
270 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty heart shaped locket engraved with a swallow and a sprig on the front. It is 9ct back and front which means that the hinges and inner rims are metal. The other parts are 9ct gold. The swallow was considered daring, risk-seeking, and a symbol of change for good in the future. It also meant “Everlasting love” and “loyalty” as swallows mate for life. Inside are two sections for photographs. It was made circa 1910-1920.
