Antique Belle Époque locket pendant, made of gold-tone metal and containing two preserved period photographs of women, one on each side. It features a circular design with an openwork outer frame, joined by small bridges to the central compartment holding the portraits. The piece includes a top ring for wearing it as a pendant. The photographs show two women with hairstyles and clothing characteristic of the early 20th century, one of the portraits standing out for its wide-brimmed hat, representative of women's fashion from those years.

Locket pendants were personal jewelry items used to preserve images of family members and loved ones. During the Belle Époque, the widespread availability of small-format photography encouraged the creation of lockets and accessories intended to hold personal mementos. This example retains its two antique portraits, which add historical and sentimental interest to a representative piece of early 20th-century personal accessories.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
