A wonderfully unusual Victorian gold-filled locket brooch featuring two finely detailed lion faces, their flowing manes worked in high relief and accented with stones that test as diamonds. The locket still opens and closes securely, making it both a striking brooch and a functional keepsake. There is some gentle age-related wear to the raised details, particularly around the lions’ noses, which is consistent with the piece’s history and does not affect its wearability. Finished with its original-style C-clasp, this is the kind of jewelry that feels like it has a story waiting to be discovered. Chain not included.
