Victorian Locket Pendant with locks of hair

This is a beautiful Victorian-era hair locket pendant, a touching example of 19th-century mourning or sentimental jewelry.
This ornate gold-toned oval locket features intricate engraved decoration with flowing foliate patterns and rope-twist borders characteristic of Victorian craftsmanship. The pendant opens to reveal two compartments with deep blue lining, each containing carefully preserved locks of blonde/light brown hair arranged in delicate coiled patterns. The hair is twisted into small spirals, which was a common Victorian practice for preserving memorial hair. The locket has a sturdy bail for hanging and shows beautiful attention to detail in both the exterior engraving and interior presentation.

No markings.
