The Story
Lockets have adorned people for centuries, but what we think of as lockets today was popularized in the Victorian Era (1837-1901). Influenced by their Queen's unabashedly public display of love and mourning for her husband, Albert, lockets gained popularity as tokens of affection or grief and contained portraits, locks of hair, and other small symbols of endearment. This locket also features another Victorian hallmark, star inspired designs. This substantial locket boasts 1 total carat weight of twinkling Old Mine Cut Diamonds embedded in the center of the star setting, with unique milgrain rays enhancing the points of the star. There is room for two large circular photos for the modern wearer to carry on the sentimental Victorian's traditions.
