Edwardian 14K Gold Purple Guilloché Enamel Diamond Locket | Circa 1910
An Edwardian 14K gold locket featuring deep purple guilloché enamel with a single old mine-cut diamond at its center. The finely patterned enamel is framed by an opaque white enamel border with reeded gold detailing and interlaced geometric accents.
A decorative trefoil-shaped bail completes the design, while the reverse is smooth and suitable for a personal monogram. The locket opens to reveal two compartments designed to hold photographs or small keepsakes.

About the Era & Provenance:
Dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1910, this locket reflects the fine craftsmanship and decorative enameling associated with early 20th-century jewelry.
Guilloché enameling is a technique in which finely engraved, repeating patterns are covered with translucent enamel, creating the intricate patterned surface visible on the front of the locket.
The combination of deep purple enamel, contrasting white border, geometric gold detailing and a centered old mine-cut diamond gives this piece its distinctive design. The bail is stamped 14K alongside a maker's mark that has not yet been identified.
