Description

This magnificent antique locket pendant is a striking example of Victorian-era craftsmanship, featuring a 0.30 carat ruby and a 0.13 carat diamond set in luxurious 18ct yellow gold. The substantial oval-shaped locket is adorned with an intricately applied, convex interlacing snake design—a powerful Victorian symbol of eternal love and protection. One snake's head is set with a vibrant cushion-cut ruby, representing passion and devotion, while the other is embellished with a sparkling Old European round cut diamond, adding a refined touch of brilliance. The reverse side of the hinged locket is plain and polished, offering a beautiful contrast to the ornate front. Inside, it opens to reveal space for two cherished photographs or small mementos, held securely behind removable transparent retainers. Suspended from a substantial antique link chain via a smooth, tapering bale, the piece is perfectly balanced and visually impactful. This locket is not only a stunning piece of antique jewelry but also a deeply meaningful gift—a wearable keepsake that blends emotional significance with timeless elegance, ideal for celebrating love, memory, and lasting connection.
