Celeste Victorian Blue Enamel Diamond Starburst Locket

The History:

This striking gold-filled Victorian locket features a vibrant turquoise-blue enamel face adorned with an eight-pointed starburst centered around a clear foil-backed rhinestone. The softly domed oval locket is finished with a coordinating enamel bail, while the contrasting silver-toned starburst setting lends a beautiful sense of depth to the design.

Celestial motifs were especially beloved during the nineteenth century, when stars represented guidance, hope, and enduring affection. Star-set diamonds became a defining feature of Victorian jewelry, their radiating points evoking the brilliance of the night sky. This piece is a wonderful example of the Victorian fascination with celestial symbolism and richly colored enamelwork.

This piece was originally made and sourced in England and shows wear consistent with age. This locket has a small chip in the enamel on the right side. This piece measures 2.125" in length including the bail and 1.25" in width.
