Antique Gott schütze dich Locket in Silver; Circa 1880

A sentimental Victorian locket decorated with a wonderfully poignant German enamel inscription. The combination of the crisp silver and black enamel is w wonderful pairing. 

The locket is formed in a classic oval shape, with the words ‘GOTT SCHÜTZE DICH’ picked out in enamel across the front. The phrase translates as ‘God protect you’ or ‘God bless you’. This is a deeply personal sentiment that feels particularly fitting for a locket intended to be worn close to the heart.

The combination of the cool silver, delicate enamel lettering and softly oval form gives the piece a wonderfully romantic Victorian character. It is understated but full of meaning, with the inscription providing a glimpse into the sentiment behind its creation.
