c1895 Antique Victorian 10ct 10K Yellow Rose Gold Filled GF Onyx & Tiger Eye Fob Chain Locket

Tiger’s Eye is used for focusing the mind. It is said that Tiger Eye offers protection during travel, strengthens convictions and confidence. This very warm stone is beneficial for the weak and sick. With its bands resembling an eye of tiger, so it is received its name due to this similarity.

 It is with pleasure I present this Stunning Antique locket. The pictures provide the best description. One side features an onyx cameo. The other side features a tablet of tiger’s eye. The characteristic rich yellow and golden brown stripes of the tiger’s eye show through due to the fine golden lustre it has from having been polished.

The stones are set within a square, scalloped framework with fancy embossing/repousse and a magnificent scrolled decoration which also houses the hinge and fixed ring from which it is suspended. The pictures provide the best description.

It encloses the ORIGINAL red backing cloth and frame ready to house a picture - Very Rare! The hinge and clasp is in perfect working order clicking closed securely.

COLOUR            It has a warm Antique yellow gold hue with a hint of rose gold and the silky smooth feel usually only associated with solid carat gold and expected of quality antique/vintage jewellery.
