This remarkable mid-Victorian book chain and locket set is an exceptional example of 19th-century craftsmanship, beautifully preserved in its original fitted case. Crafted in rich 15ct yellow gold, the necklace features a bold articulated book chain design, each link finely detailed with decorative motifs.
The large oval locket is exquisitely hand-engraved with intricate foliate patterns, framed by a delicate border. Its generous size and hinged opening make it perfect for holding portraits or keepsakes. The locket suspends from an ornate triple-link drop, completing the statement look.
A rare complete survivor, this set combines grandeur with sentimental charm, making it an heirloom-worthy jewel for collectors and connoisseurs of fine Victorian jewellery.
