Georgian Vinaigrette with Locket | Erica Weiner
Personal cleanliness standards in the 19th century were not quite what they are today. Enter the vinaigrette! These tiny lockets with an open grille were designed to house a cloth or piece of cotton wool soaked in perfume that could be held to the nose in moments of olfactory assault. This wonderfully ornate Georgian vinaigrette is fashioned in 14k gold with a photo locket at the front and and an engine turned panel at the back which opens to reveal a beautiful floral grille.
Late Victorian Lavender Guilloché Enamel Locket | Erica Weiner
Guilloché enamel jewelry is made by creating a decorative (and usually repetitive) pattern on a metal surface and then coating it in translucent enamel. These pieces have the illusion of depth and texture but are smooth and even to the touch. This Victorian locket is made in silver with pale lavender guilloché enamel and gold floral details. Hangs from a new 20" sterling silver rope chain. Makes for the perfect unique gift idea!
Victorian Pearl, Diamond, and Enamel Garter Locket | Erica Weiner
The Order of the Garter, founded by Edward III in 1348, is the oldest British Order of Chivalry. The insignia of the Order features the garter, and owing to its association with this honorable crew, the image of the garter is imbued with the qualities of loyalty, fidelity, and protection. This wonderful, heavy Victorian locket is made in 14k yellow gold and adorned with a garter rendered in navy blue enamel, rose cut diamonds, and seed pearls that vary in hue from white to cream to grey.
Aesthetic Niello Locket and Chain | Erica Weiner
This graphic gold and silver niello locket and chain dates to the late Victorian era. Niello is a black metallic alloy used to fill in designs cut from metal - usually silver but very occasionally seen in gold. Niello originated in Ancient Egypt and the technique spread to Europe as early as the Iron Age. Niello jewelry reached the height of its popularity during the Renaissance and then experienced a brief return to favor at the end of the 19th century, when this piece was made.
