Early Victorian heat right here. Circa 1840s–1850s, this pressure-back locket shows up with everything you want from the era. A center loaded with approximately 1.60 carats of saturated Burma rubies in warm 18k gold, wrapped in a halo of roughly 1.42 carats of chunky old mine cut diamonds set in silver. Classic mid-19th century construction, untouched and still hitting hard.
It measures 25mm without the bail. This piece doesn’t limit you.
The glow, the color, the weight of history… it’s all here. Ruby fire and old mine sparkle, exactly the way Victorian hands made it. They weren’t playing around back then, and neither is this locket.
