A gorgeous chased locket dating to the Victorian era. Anchors were commonly used as a symbol of hope, stability and stength.
Combine the anchor with the glass compartment to the reverse, which will have held a photo or a lock of hair, I believe that this will have been a parting gift or mourning piece.
A beautiful little trinket.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.
