Beautiful antique 9ct gold locket featuring double-sided engraved exterior panels, including a hand-engraved swallow bird surrounded by floral motifs. In Victorian symbolism, the swallow represents love, loyalty, and safe return, making this a particularly meaningful piece.

The locket opens to reveal an antique portrait photograph, adding wonderful character and historical charm.

Important condition note:

The locket has a tendency to pop open, especially with movement. It does close, but may benefit from adjustment.
