Late Victorian Repoussé Horse Locket

The Story

This beautifully detailed Late Victorian (circa 1900) repoussé locket is a can’t-miss for any equestrian. The noble profile of a horse is expertly hammered into the front of the locket, with details like an Old Mine Cut diamond eye, and the horse’s bridle and sinuous muscles crafted in bright 14 karat yellow gold. On the reverse, the well for a .72 inch round photo has picked up a beautiful patina over its lifetime, creating a circular border. The Victorian era saw a rise in leisure riding and fox hunting among the upper classes. Thus, brooches, cufflinks, or stick pins featuring horses or riding gear like became very popular with the upper crust. We are lucky to have such a beautiful example of the trend ready for its modern owner!
