Description

An antique Victorian sweetheart locket with blue enamel to the front.  The front is also set with seed pearls and a natural coral cabochon.  The front and back of the locket are unmarked but test as 9 carat gold.  The suspension loop is not gold.  The back of the locket is engraved with a foliage design and has a small cartouche which was intended for engraving, however it has not been used.   Inside the locket is a lock of hair and a photo of a young girl in late 19th Century style dress. 

Lockets such as this were often given as sweetheart presents and keeping locks of hair was common practise during the Victorian era.
