Victorian Etruscan Revival Turquoise Locket sapphire one school of thought boilsDATE: Victorian, c. 1870 An outstanding mid Victorian round locket with more than a hint of the Etruscan Revival in its design. It dates from the 1870s, featuring a highly domed pav turquoise centre and applied rope goldwork around the border as well as a further eight turquoise cabochons.
