Antique Faith, Hope & Charity Locket of 10k Gold

This sentimental Victorian locket beautifully embodies the cherished virtues of the era. Crafted in 10k gold and dating to 1860, the front is adorned with a cross, anchor, and heart in black enamel, symbolic of faith, hope, and charity. These motifs were popular love tokens during the 19th century, carrying layers of personal and spiritual meaning.

The locket measures 1.1 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom by 0.7 inches wide (when closed). The interior retains its original glass photo coverings, one of which shows enamel wear beneath. The exterior bears a few light indentations consistent with its age, yet the overall condition remains good and highly wearable.

The gold content has been verified using both X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and jeweler’s acid testing, confirming its 10k purity.

A touching keepsake from the mid-19th century, this piece is perfect for collectors of antique jewelry and those drawn to sentimental Victorian symbolism.

Materials: 10k gold, Enamel.
