Victorian Turqoise Cabochon Pave Heart Locket Necklace

Queen Victoria is known for her mourning jewelry after the death of Prince Albert, you don't need to be a queen to have a turquoise heart like her.

Back of Heart charm has a glass-front secret compartment that held a lock of hair.  A true window into the past and provenance.

The original fabric is there but I removed the hair so you don't have too. 

Fabulous piece collected from a trip to London; found on Portobello Road.

The plumbers pull chain is contemporary with a hand fabricated barbed wire link.

Turquoise cabachons, love the various hues, from blue to green, sterling silver,  

Heart locket circa 1890's

Original conditon very good

1 1/2" 5/8" width, on 18" chain
