CAPTURED MEMORIES LOCKET NECKLACE
The Captured Memories Locket necklace features a beautifully crafted brass fob chain, reminiscent of Victorian elegance. The chain holds a brass locket adorned with poignant original photos: a soldier on the front and his proud parents on the back.
In Victorian society, a well-dressed gentleman adhered to a strict dress code, where understated and functional jewellery items were essential. The gentleman’s watch chain was one of the last areas of personal expression permitted by the restrained societal norms. The chain’s crossbar was inserted into the buttonhole, and the watch was placed securely in the vest pocket. Fobs, often in the form of medals or spinners, were designed to make retrieving the pocket watch easier. These fobs hung over the front of the pocket and were anchored to the watch chain via a short chain or ribbon.
Lockets have long been cherished for their sentimental value, often used to hold images or small mementos. This brass locket, featuring a soldier on the front and his proud parents on the back, captures a touching narrative of family pride and connection. Such lockets served as cherished keepsakes, preserving memories and emotions through generations.
Brass, known for its durability and warm golden hue, develops a unique patina over time. This natural tarnish adds to its vintage appeal. To restore the brass to its original shiny colour, simply use Brasso and a toothbrush to gently scrub away the tarnish, revealing the metal's inherent luster.
This antique brass fob chain and locket ensemble is a testament to the Victorian era’s appreciation for detailed craftsmanship and meaningful accessories. The fob chain’s intricate design and the locket’s emotive images create a piece that is both visually stunning and deeply sentimental. This accessory not only serves as a fashion statement but also as a tangible connection to the past.
