Victorian romance executed with precision and permanence. This pavé-set diamond heart locket brooch is crafted in 18k gold and silver and weighs an impressive 15.6 grams, giving it the unmistakable presence of high Victorian jewelry made to endure. Measuring approximately 30 × 28 mm, the surface is set with an estimated 5 carats total weight of old European cut diamonds, closely pavé-set to create a continuous field of soft, candlelit brilliance.
The piece retains its original screw off brooch fittings as well as the pop up pendant fixture, a rare and highly desirable survival that speaks to both quality and careful preservation. Designed as an intimate object of sentiment and display with the glass locket back, this heart was meant to be worn proudly while holding something deeply personal within.
