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

395U
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty 9ct gold back and front heart shaped locket that was made circa 1910. The term “9ct Back & Front” means the front and back are 9ct gold and the inner frames and hinges are metal. It has a swallow with a branch of roses on both sides.  It opens to reveal two areas for photographs.  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 message of love is further accentuated by the roses on both sides. What a lovely sentiment to pass on to someone that you love
