The advent of photography gave rise to a whole new jewelry culture. For the first time, small portraits of loved ones were affordable for broad sections of society and could be carried in locket pendants at all times as a personal expression of attachment. Inside these pendants, 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 is particularly exquisite in its design. Curved leaf ornaments frame a round central field, giving the piece of jewelry a heart-shaped appearance. At its center, the locket presents a cloverleaf set with precious gemstones. A ruby from Burma, an emerald from Colombia, an old-cut diamond and two small diamond roses adorn the leaves of the lucky symbol. The locket is made of 14-karat gold, which is additionally plated with fine gold. The surface of the piece of jewelry has a matt finish typical of the time, giving it a velvety and rich glow. Two small frames inside the locket allow photographs to be inserted. According to the hallmark, the pendant is the work of Samuel Deutsch's goldsmiths, which was founded in Vienna in 1901 and existed until around 1925. The locket came to us from Vienna. We have added a matching gold chain so that it can be worn immediately.
