Art Deco Floral Engraved Locket

The History:

A beautifully sentimental keepsake from the Art Deco era, this rectangular sterling silver locket features a dark, polished face delicately engraved with a graceful flowering stem in warm gold-filled metal. A single blossom hangs beneath a gently arching branch, while fine leaves and a subtle touch of green enamel lend the composition an almost painterly quality. The contrast between the dark background and luminous floral detailing recalls the decorative arts of the early twentieth century, when nature-inspired motifs were often interpreted with a newfound simplicity and elegance. 

Lockets remained treasured personal possessions throughout this period, offering a discreet place to keep photographs or small mementos of loved ones. Finished with a modern swivel clasp, this charming piece embodies the enduring romance of jewelry made to hold something close to the heart.

This piece was originally made in Germany and sourced in England and shows wear consistent with age. The interior compartments are empty. A modern sterling silver swivel clasp has been added to this locket. This piece measures 1.75" in length including the bail and 0.75" in width.
