Description

With the advent of photography, a whole new culture of jewelry suddenly emerged: for the first time, small portraits of loved ones were affordable for broad sections of society and could be carried with them at all times as a personal expression of attachment. Inside these new photo lockets, which were created around 1900, the pictures of loved ones, parents or children were protected from prying eyes, but at the same time present and always at hand. This relatively large locket from this period is made of silver and delights with its translucent enameling on a guilloché ground. Garlands of densely filled roses adorn the center, held by bows and accompanied by small forget-me-not flowers. The composition is classic and symmetrical, yet light and cheerful: a wonderful example of the spirit of optimism in the arts shortly after 1900. The locket radiates a cheerful, romantic mood. Perfect for storing photographs of your loved one in a frame inside it throughout the summer. This graceful piece of jewellery was found here in Berlin.
