This 19th century enamelled locket is worn on a foxtale chain. On it dangles an enamelled locket that opens. When opened you can see a little glass panel behind which people would put a picture, or a lock of hair. The late 19th century, in England named 'Victorian period', the time queen Victoria reigned, was a romantic time. It was also a time of great change. The industrialisation was in full swing and people longed for things that were stable, unchanging. That may be that's why they tried to capture memories in their jewellery. Whether it was a 'souvenir' of a place visited, a flower evoking a friendship held dear, or a lock of hair from a lover or lost one, jewellery was made to cater for it. This locket is just one example. Fill it with your own memories!
