(SOLD) Antique French Victorian Celestial Banded Agate and Diamond Starburst Locket
(SOLD) Antique French Victorian Celestial Banded Agate and Diamond Starburst Locket
Celestial, Heavenly.
This French locket is a mesmerizing and masterful study of contrasts. Graphic banded agate, lustrous pearl, glinty rose cut diamonds, and rich gold come together in a harmonious composition that is at once romantic and bold. We see a large glowing rayed star, sparkling against a midnight sky, surrounded by a corona of twinkling diamonds and gold fleur-de-lis. What do you see?
The locket opens to reveal two compartments, ready for your personal mementos. Both original rims and one glass cover are present, and the locket closes securely with an audible “snap.”
A special find, with a fanciful design we have not seen before.
The locket is displayed with a French gold and pearl sautoir (not included), available here.
Marked with French eagle’s head and unidentified maker’s mark.
18k gold, diamond, pearl, banded agate.
Dimensions and weight:
● 52 mm long (including bail)
● 32.5 mm wide
● 12.5 mm deep
● 21.6 grams (weighed as shown, with glass and ribbon insert)
Period: Victorian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present.
