Mid Victorian Turquoise Pansy Heart Locket intaglio A couple of light scratchesDATE: Victorian, c. 1860 A charming mid Victorian puffed heart locket with a little turquoise petaled pansy in the centre. The remainder of the front is embellished with gorgeous engraved foliate detailing, and the back is furnished with a slightly convex rock crystal locket compartment. It's crafted in 15 karat gold, and the pansy in this instance is a rebus for "pensez moi", or "think of me". STONES Turquoise Cabochons MEASUREMENTS 1. 7 x 1. 4cm
