A finely made English double locket pendant in 15-karat gold, featuring a hand-carved classical cameo on the front and a soft pink chalcedony panel on the reverse. The locket opens to reveal two interior compartments designed to hold tiny photographs or keepsakes, reflecting the sentimental jewellery traditions of late-Victorian to early-Edwardian England
Delicate carving, the warm glow of 15K gold, and the contrast between creamy white relief and muted chalcedony create a quietly luxurious presence. Weighing approximately 7 g, this piece has the feel of a high-grade, carefully crafted jewel rather than a light accessory, making it a rare and distinguished addition to an antique collection.
