Description

With the advent of photography, a whole new jewellery culture suddenly emerged, producing photo lockets in all kinds of shapes, materials and price ranges. For the first time, small portraits of loved ones were affordable for broad sections of society and could be carried around at all times as a personal expression of attachment. Inside these new photo lockets, which were created around 1900, 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 a simple round pendant with a small cloverleaf engraved on it. The leaves of this ancient symbol of good luck are adorned with three early rubies. The locket itself is made of 8-karat gold, as is the accompanying, apparently original gold chain. The surface of the piece is additionally gold-plated and has a rich, velvety glow thanks to this additional fine gold plating. Two small frames inside the locket allow photographs to be inserted - perhaps for the first time in color since the piece of jewelry was created. The locket came to us here in Berlin.
