A rare and captivating Georgian-era portrait miniature locket pendant, dating to circa 1800. This exquisitely hand-painted portrait is framed in a bezel of rich, glowing natural flat-cut garnets, all carefully matched for color and expertly set in an elegant 18K gold mount.
The portrait is finely rendered with remarkable clarity and character—her expression calm and dignified, the lace and fabric of her dress painted in beautiful detail. The reverse features an original openable photo locket compartment, allowing it to serve both as a wearable jewel and a sentimental keepsake.
