A rare and striking antique piece, we love how minimalist this locket is, with a bold bloodstone shield to its front. The back features a subtle rampant lion engraving, mostly rubbed away over time. This piece opens and closes with a satisfying click, and has an empty interior that you can add a small photo or memento into. With a gorgeous look, weight and size, this is a wearable little piece of history and fantastic piece for any collection.
This listing is for the pendant only, chain not included.
Size: 30mm L x 18mm W, 5mm jump ring
Weight: 6.2g
Markings: None present, tests as 9ct gold
Condition: A lovely piece that's over 100 years old and showing some signs of wear. Opens and closes securely. Remnants of a rubbed lion rampant engraving to the back of the locket. Some very small dents/nicks to gold and light areas of tarnish/solder around bail. Bloodstone in good condition, with small chip and natural variations in colour and pattern. Clean interior with nothing inside.

Before you buy
How do you authenticate your pieces?
We carefully assess every piece using our gemmological training, specialist tools, and industry experience. We are both GIA Graduate Gemmologists and have also completed the Applied Jewelry Professional (AJP) qualification.
We work closely with our jeweller, who has almost 50 years of experience and is also a qualified gemmologist.
Carat weights are estimates based on measurements taken in the setting unless otherwise stated. Precise weights can only be obtained from loose stones. Many of our diamonds are old cuts, which are often asymmetrical and not calibrated due to traditional hand-cutting techniques.
We aim to provide clear photos and videos from multiple angles to help you purchase with confidence.
Do US customers have to pay tariffs or duties?
No - for United States customers, the price shown includes insured DHL Express or Australia Post shipping and import duties/tariffs.
This means there should be no separate bill for these charges on delivery. We always ship at full declared value so your parcel stays compliant, secure, and fully insured.
