Antique Victorian Yellow Gold Amethyst, Pearl, & Diamond Mourning Locket Pendant

This antique Victorian mourning locket is crafted in yellow gold and centers on a vivid oval amethyst, faceted to catch the light. Set into the surface of the amethyst is a delicate yellow gold floral inlay accented with diamonds, creating a striking contrast against the rich purple stone. Surrounding the center is a halo of star-shaped details, each tipped with a seed pearl, with fine gold beading along the locket’s edge. An ornate scrollwork bail adds elegant movement and period character. The locket opens to reveal an interior compartment traditionally used to hold a keepsake or remembrance. Refined and symbolic, this piece is a beautiful example of Victorian craftsmanship and mourning jewelry design.
