Antique 10K Solid Gold Rose Cut Diamond Starburst Round Shape Photo Locket, Monogram BGA, Gift for Her
This classic late-Victorian/Edwardian 10K solid gold rose cut diamond locket is a must-have piece for any vintage jewelry lover and my all-time favorite. This round-shaped locket features a small but sparkly antique rose cut diamond set with a starburst pattern in the center.
The surface has a rich yellow bloom finish. The back has three artistic monograms that appear to be "BGA". Opening from the side, it has two compartments for photos. It currently has a black-and-white photo of a Victorian woman inside — a charming piece of its history!
The starburst diamond locket is one of the most popular items in our shop—we’ve sold many over the years. This type of locket appears in the E.V. Roddin & Company 1917 Catalog, CBN Jewelry Catalogue 1910, and Illustrated Jewelry Catalogue 1892. These references serve as our dating evidence and indicate that this classic style was popular from the 1890s to the 1910s. Needless to say, it remains highly sought after by collectors today.
