One of the most popular pieces of jewellery in the last third of the 19th century was the locket. Worn as a pendant, brooch or even a bracelet, it could be used to conceal personal memories from prying eyes. The locket reached the zenith of its popularity around 1870. This locket, which is worn as a pendant, also dates from this period. This detailed little piece is made of warm, shiny 14-karat gold and features a glittering star made of diamond roses on the front. Both lids of the locket also feature fine engravings and decorations in black enamel. There is a glazed compartment inside for a small memento. Initially reserved for mourning wear, accents of black decoration were first used on dresses and eventually in jewellery during the 1860s. Together with other details, this helps us to date the pieces of jewellery. The locket can be worn immediately around the neck on its antique gold chain.
