Details

This fabulous antique Georgian 18ct Gold Coral locket necklace is Circa 1780.

Due to its age, Georgian jewellery is quite rare, with some pieces almost three hundred years old. From 1714 until 1837 four King Georges and a short-lived William gave rise to this extended period, spanning many fashions that are reflected in these stunning pieces of Georgian jewellery.

The piece is complete with a detachable Coral heart padlock which is fitted with a Crystal Locket on the reverse.

This is an absolutely stunning piece, steeped in Georgian history and looks beautiful when worn.
