Antique 18K Gold Rock Crystal Heart Locket Brooch with Enamel & Diamond Accents

This enchanting locket brooch is a miniature masterpiece of sentiment and craftsmanship. Made in glowing 18K yellow gold, the heart-shaped locket is carved from rock crystal, faceted front and back to beautifully magnify anything held within. A true locket of secrets, it can house a tiny keepsake, a birthstone (as shown), or a love note no bigger than a breath.

Framing the crystal heart is a romantic tableau of symbolic elements: a hand-enameled laurel wreath with red flower tips symbolizing victory and love, a white dove representing peace and the soul, and a blue ribbon bow set with a sparkling diamond, a nod to loyalty and cherished bonds.

Heart-shaped jewelry has symbolized love and devotion since at least the 16th century, while leafy branches, especially laurel, signify growth, triumph, and eternal connection. Lockets rose to popularity during the Georgian and Victorian eras, when miniature compartments held sentimental treasures, often worn close to the heart as tokens of remembrance and affection.

This brooch captures all of that: memory, meaning, and beauty, woven into one poetic jewel.
