Victorian Silver & Gold Overlay Butterfly Locket

332F
391 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A lovely Victorian silver locket which was made in the 1880s during the Aesthetic period. It reflects the fascination for the Orient especially with Japanese art. Here there is the rising sun and bamboo in the engraving and a beautiful gold overlay butterfly. In the Japanese culture butterflies are thought to be representative of young maidens and marital bliss, so this would be a perfect present for the one that you love.
