9ct Gold

Antique WW1 Engraved Round Locket

Antique WW1 Engraved Round Locket

I dunno why if a locket is round, like ROUND round it just does it for my different; but it does. Is it because it feels like an old coin - a bit of treasure? Or do the medallion-esque vibes feel like a shield?

It's not the most common locket shape but boy am I pleased when I find it. Add to that this is a 100% gold example. Most antique lockets are 9ct B&F which has lots of advantages but if you're a purist you need to keep your eyes peeled for the fully gold ones because they come up way less often. 

The engraved design on this is delightfully detailed and the condition of the engraving is excellent - she truly has stood the test of time. 

There is something hauntingly beautiful about sentimental antique jewellery that dates from the war. Makes you wonder if this was perhaps a gift for a loved one, to carry important photos while people were kept apart. 

Works perfectly ready to carry your secret notes, photos, flowers, perfume-soaked cotton. Anything your heart desires!

Please note

The expectation with antique and vintage jewellery is that there will be normal signs of wear commensurate with age eg. scuffs and patina. Lovers of antique and vintage jewellery usually value these things for giving their piece history and character.

I make every effort to clearly list any defects above usual wear, and to take clear photos that represent the item clearly.

The photos constitute part of the description and we ask you view them carefully before purchasing.

Instalment Payment Info

We offer a traditional layaway system – not a buy-now-pay-later setup like Klarna. You pay a 30% deposit now, then two more payments over 60 days. Your piece is safely reserved, and we’ll post it out once all payments are complete.

At Trash Lobster, we think this is a more ethical way to offer flexibility – no credit checks, no predatory lenders, just time to pay at your own pace.

Want to pay it off early? Just give us a shout and we’ll sort it.
