Large Victorian Floral Sterling Silver Locket | 1890’s Australian

Why we chose it: A striking example of late Victorian craftsmanship, this oversized locket features beautifully hand-engraved ivy leaves — a classic symbol of eternal love — making it both sentimental and sculptural. We were especially drawn to the generous size, which gives it an undeniable presence, and the skillful engraving that has softened beautifully with age. Pieces like this were often given as keepsakes, worn close to the heart, and passed down through generations — a tangible link to the past that still feels deeply personal today.

Maker: Unmarked, but likely Australian based on the sterling silver hallmarks.
