Victorian Silver Romeo & Juliet Locket

907Z
35 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual Victorian silver locket that was made circa 1880. The front is a repousse motif featuring the story of Romeo wooing Juliet on her balcony. It is a famous Shakespearean tragedy about two young lovers from warring families, the Montagues and the Capulets in Verona, Italy. After meeting at a party and falling in love instantly, they marry in secret. Their romance leads to tragedy when a cycle of vendettas results in their suicides. A sad story but this locket is all about the love between them. It opens to reveal two sections for photographs.
