A large cabochon of layered agate captures the eye on the front of this locket. Similar to the inseparable affection of two lovers, the silvery white bands and the deep black of the agates are connected and hold together, come what may. This is how the ancient author Pliny already interpreted this wonderful semi-precious stone, seeing it as a symbol of love and a sign of attachment. Its use in a locket, the purpose of which is the lasting memory of loved ones, makes perfect sense. The oval pendant is made of 14-karat gold, which has a particularly rich and velvety shimmer due to an additional layer of fine gold. Applied decorations, reminiscent of a stylized laurel wreath, reveal the influence of the so-called Archaeological style and allow us to date the piece of jewellery to the 1870s. The locket has a spacious glazed compartment on the back, where a personal memento can be safely stored. The pendant is beautifully preserved and delights with its quality workmanship and sentimental symbolism.
