[QUOTE="a_la_sevigne, post: 9884489, member: 88174"]Hello all, I recently bought this 18k locket/brooch for a personal project. Basically I’m commissioning a lovers eye painting for it and plan to wear it on a chain. It appears to me to have been used as hair/memorial brooch, but exactly when is baffling as I haven’t seen anything else that looks much like it. As of right now my best guess is that is early Victorian, and European as it is heavily hallmarked. Otherwise I have been unable to identify its hallmarks or truly nail down its era. It came with its custom fitted box, and the seller had little to no info on it. Any advice is truly welcome.
