Striking in both scale and sentiment, this extra-large Victorian Whitby Jet locket is a remarkable example of 19th-century mourning jewelry. Richly carved and beautifully preserved, it carries a timeless elegance that feels just as meaningful today.
The front features an intricately detailed forget-me-not cross, with delicately sculpted leaves and blossoms rising from a finely etched background. Symbolizing remembrance and enduring love, the motif adds both depth and emotional significance to the piece.
The locket opens to reveal a double-sided photo compartment, complete with original covers—ready to hold your most treasured keepsakes. Measuring an impressive 3 inches in length and approximately 25mm thick, it has a bold, sculptural presence.
Suspended from a sterling silver double rolo link chain, the deep, velvety black of the Whitby Jet contrasts beautifully with the bright silver, making it effortlessly wearable.
An exceptional and collectible piece of authentic Victorian mourning jewelry—rare, meaningful, and enduring in its beauty.
