This Victorian (1837-1901) locket with paste stones has a beautiful Art Nouveau design. The term “paste” is used to refer to gemstones made of various kinds of cut glass. Leaded glass has a high refractive index, therefore it was a common material used in antique jewelry. This locket even has an antique photograph inside! It also has a worn monogram on the back.

Mounted gemstones cannot be measured exactly, therefore, carat weight is considered approximate unless accompanied by certification from an independent lab, such as SGL or GIA. Colored gemstones and pearls are often enhanced, unless documentation says otherwise.
