The advent of photography gave rise to a whole new culture of jewelry: for the first time, small portraits of loved ones were affordable for broad sections of society and could be carried around 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 locket from this period is made of silver and delights with its translucent enameling on a finely guilloché ground. Its base color is a delicate shade of mauve, which wonderfully complements the fashion for pastel-colored dresses of the late Belle Époque. A long garland of flowers with golden, densely filled roses adorns the edge of the pendant, which has the same design on the front and back. The locket exudes an elegant, romantic mood, perfect for storing photographs of your loved one inside using the two frames. It found its way to us in London and is in very good condition; however, it was probably made in Germany. An extra-long chain made of silver-plated metal with small imitation pearls is included free of charge. The chain can also be shortened if desired.
