Gold & Turquoise Heart Locket

793D
322 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A most unusual 15ct gold heart locket containing a loose gold hears. The front is set with a turquoise which represents the forget me not flower, which signifies remembrance. The inscription on the back of the outer shell reads; ‘Lest we forget May 14th 1901’ and engraving on the inner heart reads ‘True till death May 14th 1906’. There is a chance this locket was made to commemorate the death of a mother and child. It is a beautiful and moving piece.

Ollys Pick

I have never seen this ‘heart within a heart’ before in a locket
