$695.00
This Edwardian Silver with Rose Gold Horseshoe Locket c1911, is a stunning example of the intricate and sentimental jewellery of the Edwardian era. The period was characterised by delicate designs, soft curves, and the use of high-quality materials.
Jewellery from this era often carried deep personal meaning, with pieces like lockets serving as keepsakes for holding photos or mementos of loved ones. The horseshoe motif on the locket is particularly significant, symbolising good luck, protection, and fortune—common themes in Edwardian jewellery.
Horseshoes were believed to bring positive energy, making them a popular design element in charms and lockets, often given as gifts for luck or to ward off misfortune.
The addition of rose gold in the delicate leaf pattern inside the horseshoe is what truly sets this piece apart. The warm pinkish hue of the rose gold contrasts beautifully with the silver base, adding a soft, romantic touch to the overall design. The rose gold leaves, gently engraved with intricate detailing, lend the locket a natural, almost ethereal quality that reflects the Edwardian era’s appreciation for organic beauty and fine craftsmanship.
The combination of silver and rose gold in this locket is a perfect example of the era’s mastery in blending different metals, creating a piece that feels both timeless and sophisticated. Whether worn as a personal keepsake or cherished as a piece of history, this locket is a beautiful testament to the romantic and meaningful jewellery of the early 20th century.
