Mid Victorian Diamond & Turquoise Locket Bracelet brooches surrounding central pear-shaped rock crystalsDATE: Victorian, c. 1870 A superb mid Victorian gold bracelet with a turquoise and diamond set locket head. The front is hinged down one side, and flips open to reveal a round, glass fronted locket compartment underneath. It rests on an exquisite snake link chain that tapers down towards the clasp, and features an ornate rococo revival border around the locket. The quality and design are incredible; it dates from the 1870s, modelled in 15 karat gold
