DATE: Victorian, c.1860

A striking antique banded agate and pearl locket made in the Etruscan Revival style. It's modelled in 15k yellow gold with a halo of banded agate and natural pearl surrounding the large banded agate centre. It features fine ropework detailing and the agate centre displays a striking stripe of white, where the pearl set star motif rests in the centre. Gorgeous foxtail fringing hangs below the locket, and the bail is pearl set. The back features a locket compartment ready for the addition of a photograph, and it dates from the Victorian period, circa 1860.
