Handmade circa the 1880s in warm 14 karat yellow and rose gold, this romantic antique station necklace features ten delicate flower-motif stations, each bezel set with an old mine cushion-cut natural diamond. The floral stations are joined by a charming medley of cable links and intertwined lover’s-knot links—a fitting symbol of two lives beautifully entwined.
Suspended from the center is a round hinged locket with a polished gold front, bezel set with a larger old mine cushion-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.40 carat. Turn it over and the mood becomes even more intimate: the reverse is hand engraved with a graceful floral motif, ready to guard a photograph, miniature portrait, lock of hair, or beautifully improper Victorian secret.
Old mine diamonds were cut by hand in the flickering light of candles and oil lamps, giving each stone its own softly irregular shape, high crown, and warm, romantic sparkle. Unlike modern diamonds engineered for precision, these antique stones glow rather than shout—and that is precisely their charm.
At an elegant 21 3/4 inches long, the necklace rests beautifully along the neckline, while the stylized claw clasp and ring fastener provide an easy and secure finish.
There is a minor dent to the reverse of the locket, entirely in keeping with its age and more than a century of history. We prefer to think of it as a tiny chapter in a much longer love story.
Romantic, wearable, and wonderfully one of a kind, this Victorian diamond locket necklace is equally captivating worn over a silk blouse, layered with modern chains, or paired with a dangerously low neckline.
Just a romantic thought:
The hinged locket opens to hold a photograph of someone dear—add your own image inside and make this Victorian treasure part of your personal love story. A sweetheart, a child, a beloved pet, or even a wonderfully glamorous picture of yourself… after all, every locket deserves a little secret
