A sentimental Edwardian portrait locket pendant by Glover & Wiggin of Birmingham, dating to around 1900–1910 and crafted in solid 9ct gold. The front is set with four deep blue natural sapphires framing an original sepia photograph of a young girl holding a rabbit, a charming and evocative image typical of Edwardian memorial and portrait jewellery. The composition captures the period’s fondness for intimate, personal keepsakes, combining gemstone decoration with photographic remembrance. The reverse is clearly stamped “G&W 9CT”, confirming both the maker and gold content. The locket remains well preserved with the original photograph intact, offering a rare and touching survival from the early 20th century. Box and chain are not included.
