Edwardian 18ct Gold Heart Shaped Locket with Green Garnet & Pearl Detail

178S

Written by Olly Gerrish

This is such a pretty 18ct gold heart shaped locket as it looks so neat and narrow. It has a delicate motif on the front that could almost be taken for a necklace with three drops set with pearls and a green garnet. It has also been set with a demantoid garnet or a green garnet as they are often called. These stones were sourced in Russia which produced the most beautiful vibrant green garnets known to the market, and they were very fashionable in the early 1900s. It hinges open to reveal two areas that can be used for photographs. It is marked on the top loop and as far as I can ascertain it was made in Austria circa 1910.
