Don’t you love it when you open a jewel and find a surprise inside?

This lovely, small 15-carat yellow gold locket appears to have been made about 1900, when a new appreciation for unadorned surfaces – anticipating modernism – became fashionable.

But the interior inscription places it firmly at 1856, as it’s a mourning locket, commemorating a young woman called Minnie who died at the age of 39.

It’s in wonderful condition for its age, and there is provision for a photo on the other side.

Beautifully made, it has a thick rounded edge and a concealed hinge.
