Victorian Pool of Light lockets (see price at drop down)

There is something almost magical about a Pool of Light locket. Made with domed rock crystal, the stones catch and gather the surrounding light, creating the beautiful luminous effect that gave these little lockets their name.

They were especially popular in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, often holding a tiny photograph, lock of hair or other treasured keepsake.

-

These two examples are wonderfully simple versions of the style, each with its own character. Crystal has long been associated with clarity, light and protection, a fitting little vessel for something precious.
