Original Victorian mourning pendant locket (circa 1900-1920), crafted from black Bakelite with heart-shaped cutouts. It includes a central compartment with a hinged glass lid, designed to hold a photograph or personal memento.
This type of pendant became popular during the mourning period in 19th and 20th century England, especially after the death of Prince Albert in 1861. Bakelite, one of the first plastics used in jewelry, replaced organic materials such as ebony and jet, maintaining the sobriety and symbolism of mourning.
A representative piece of 19th-century sentimental jewelry, worn as a personal memento for the deceased. Ideal for Victorian heirloom collectors or as a symbolic pendant with a strong emotional meaning.

Qué estás comprando (importante)
Vendemos artículos antiguos y vintage. No son productos nuevos ni recién fabricados. Por su antigüedad y uso previo, pueden presentar señales de uso, marcas, rayas, pequeñas pérdidas o variaciones propias del paso del tiempo. Estas características forman parte de su naturaleza y no se consideran defectos. Recomendamos revisar las fotografías con atención, ya que muestran el estado real de la pieza. Si necesitas confirmar un detalle concreto antes de comprar, escríbenos.
Fotos y color
Las fotografías se realizan con luz artificial. Por este motivo, el color puede variar ligeramente según la pantalla y la iluminación. Si el color es determinante para ti, podemos enviarte fotos adicionales tomadas con luz natural para aproximarnos lo máximo posible al tono real.
Pátina y limpieza
Muchas piezas presentan pátina por el paso del tiempo. No la eliminamos, ya que es un proceso natural que puede tardar décadas en formarse y, en muchos casos, forma parte del valor estético y del carácter de la pieza.
Si decides limpiar o pulir, hazlo con calma y teniendo en cuenta el material. El comprador debe tomar esta decisión, porque una limpieza puede afectar a la apariencia, la autenticidad y, en algunos casos, al valor. Si necesitas indicaciones de limpieza según el material, contáctanos y te orientamos.
