Vintage 9ct Yellow Gold Enamelled Memorial Pendant

Product Code: 008-01814
AUD

Steeped in sentiment and symbolism, this vintage 9ct yellow gold memorial pendant is a beautifully preserved example of late Victorian jewellery. The oval locket is richly engraved and framed with intricate detail, then finished with black enamel lettering that spells out its tribute in a bold, graphic arc – a striking contrast against the warm glow of the gold. Inside are twin compartments.

Memorial lockets rose to prominence in the 19th century, becoming especially fashionable after the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s beloved husband, when mourning jewellery took on a deeply personal yet highly decorative form. This 1890s piece captures that spirit: romantic, reflective and exquisitely crafted. Suspended from a 9ct yellow gold cable chain, it sits elegantly at the centre of the décolletage, its softly domed form catching the light with every movement.

More than an adornment, this pendant is a wearable keepsake and a rare survivor of a bygone era. For the collector who appreciates history as much as beauty, it offers a tangible connection to Victorian rituals of remembrance – a piece to wear, treasure and eventually pass on, along with the stories it comes to hold.

Pendant Dimensions: 28mm x 34mm

Pendant rests on a 45cm 9ct yellow gold cable chain.

This is an estate item and comes with a one year guarantee.
