15ct Locket set with Forget-me-not Diamonds

This exquisite Victorian Handmade 15ct Yellow & Silver Gold Fox Link Chain is a true testament to the craftsmanship and sentimentality of the era. Every detail in this remarkable piece tells a story, blending intricate metalwork with profound symbolism. The fox link chain, known for its strength and flexibility, showcases masterful Victorian gold smithing, featuring interwoven links that create a bold yet elegant drape around the neck. Handmade with a combination of 15ct yellow and silver gold, this chain embodies the refined tastes of the 19th century, where mixed metals were often used to enhance both durability and aesthetic appeal.

One of the most captivating features of this necklace is the Blue Enamel Serpent, a powerful symbol of eternal love, wisdom, and protection. The serpent motif was a beloved design in Victorian jewellery, popularised by Queen Victoria herself when she received a serpent-shaped engagement ring from Prince Albert. The rich blue enamel, carefully applied over the gold, adds a striking contrast, emphasising the intricate curves and lifelike movement of the serpent. This detail not only enhances the piece’s beauty but also adds a deeper emotional significance, making it a meaningful and romantic adornment.

At the heart of this remarkable necklace is the Round Locket, set with delicate Forget-me-not Diamonds. These tiny, dazzling gems form a floral motif, symbolising remembrance, enduring love, and cherished memories. Lockets were a deeply personal piece of Victorian jewellery, often used to hold portraits, locks of hair, or handwritten notes, keeping loved ones close to the heart. The combination of the forget-me-not design and the twinkling diamonds ensures that this piece is both sentimental and striking, making it a rare and precious heirloom.

This Victorian Fox Link Chain with Enamel Serpent and Diamond Forget-me-not Locket is more than just a necklace—it is a masterpiece of history, love, and artistry. It captures the elegance and romance of the Victorian era while remaining a timeless treasure for any collector or jewellery enthusiast.
