Victorian Cherub Locket of 18k Gold

An exquisite Victorian era locket dating to 1890–1900, centered with a finely detailed enamel cherub framed by elegant black enamel scrollwork, all crafted in 18 karat gold. The romantic imagery and rich contrast between the warm gold and dark enamel reflect the sentimental and decorative artistry of the late Victorian period. The reverse bears the engraved initials “TFN,” adding a personal historical element that enhances the locket’s character and provenance.

The piece measures 1.6 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 1.05 inches wide, with a weight of 13.28 grams, offering a substantial yet graceful presence when worn. It is presented in great antique condition, with enamel well preserved and details crisp.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction. A rare and highly collectible example of Victorian sentimental jewelry.
