Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
In the 19th century, jewellery was not only used to adorn the body, but was also intended to convey messages, feelings and memories. Queen Victoria, for example, wore a bracelet to which a heart-shaped pendant was attached for each of her children; jewellery with Scottish semi-precious stones was intended to remind her of summers spent in the Highlands; and friends gave each other jewelry that showed strands of hair artfully braided under glass instead of gemstones. This pendant, which has space for two photos inside, is a memento in the literal sense of the word. On its smooth, turquoise-blue enameled surface, we see a vine leaf with a small natural pearl shimmering in the middle. The color of the enamel is intended to imitate the flower of the forget-me-not and take on its eloquent meaning. It is therefore particularly common on 19th century memorabilia. The well-preserved locket is in very good condition and was created in the last years of the 19th century. We have added a matching gold chain so that it can be worn immediately around the neck.
