Large Victorian 15ct Gold Oval Engraved Locket

995P
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful 15ct gold oval locket that was made circa 1880.  It has been finely engraved on both sides with ivy leaves and roses sending the message “Cling to me” Ivy,  and “I love you” Roses.  The Victorians were fond of sending secret messages and so much of the jewellery that we buy has secret meanings.  On one side is a shield shaped cartouche where initials can be engraved if wanted. Inside are two areas for photographs.
