We are genuinely shocked that the enamel remains intact given the extreme delicacy of this piece — a true testament to careful custodianship over 150 years. The bow at the top detaches, allowing the locket to be worn simply as a pendant, while the pin back transforms it into an effortless brooch — making it a terribly versatile jewel for a piece of such romantic, high Victorian sentiment. Our favourite way to wear it is on an Eloise chain. Acid tested 18ct gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e American High Victorian, c. 1870s\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18ct yellow gold, black enamel, glass back (acid tested)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 rose cut diamonds, .40ctw, wonderful clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.85g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detachable bow allows wear as pendant; pin back allows wear as brooch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent; solder repair on reverse pin fitting and upper shoulder reinforcement (typical antique maintenance).
