Antique Victorian "Ace of Diamonds” Black and Gold Locket, with Original Fitted Box
$5,550.00
There is nothing quite like the drama of black, gold, and diamond is there?
A sleek oval of onyx is minimally (and strikingly) adorned with a single chunky old mine cut diamond. The diamond itself is mounted in a diamond shaped surround. Anyone else see an “ace of diamonds”?
All of this is seamlessly set in a locket of glow-y, bloomed gold. The bail and back are unadorned — the only embellishment the soft sheen of the gold itself. Chef’s kiss. So smooth, such a pleasure to hold and to wear. Wear the gold side facing out, as the mood strikes. Consider this locket double-sided.
The cherry on top? Inside, the sweetest inscription: “To Constance as a keepsake in memory of her much loved mother”, dated for “Xmas 1886.” One locket compartment is ready for your personal token. The other contains a lock of hair, which we can remove prior to delivery, if desired.
PS: The other cherry on top? The locket is accompanied by its original, fitted box, from Marshall & Sons, Edinburgh. Just imagine — Constance opened this very box that Christmas Day, 138 years ago.
Unmarked. Inscribed as noted above.
18k gold (inside photo rims test lower karat gold), diamond, onyx.
Dimensions and weight:
● 67 mm long
