Edwardian 9ct Back & Front Round Locket with Swallow Motif

578U
120 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A round locket that was made circa 1900-1910. It is 9ct back and front. The term “9ct Back & Front” means the front and back are 9ct gold and the inner frames and hinges are metal. It is a lovely design and has been engraved on both sides with a swallow and a branch of roses and a heart. 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. The rose branches emphasise love. It opens to reveal a compartment for a photograph. A perfect gift to someone that you love.
