Jewelry history: Retro jewelry is characterized by the use of yellow gold, the development of 3-D volumes and the rarity of gemstones. Here we have a perfect example of such jewelry: a large volume, the use of synthetic rubies – thus compensating for the lack of gemstones available on the market after the War. Indeed, the Second World War had a considerable impact on jewelry fashion at the time, sweeping aside the taste for “white”, the geometric “flat” and the abundance of gems of Art Deco.

B.H. Joseph & Co, a jewellery manufacturing and selling company, was started by Barnet Henry Joseph and his brother Henry Joseph in 1865 in Birmingham. From 1878, B.H. Joseph & Co opened showrooms in London and was considered one of the most famous jewellery houses. They made many designs and this pendant is a good example of an Arts & Crafts style.
Victorian French locket pendant in silver plated. An enamelled ceramic plate adorns the center of the pendant. It represents a woman in traditional regional costume, with her head bowed and her hands crossed, in front of the village church. Her traditional costume let us think that the woman is from Alsace, East of France, because of the large black bow which was worn here at this period.
Red glass stones surround the figure in a set of filigree. At the back, the locket opens to hide a lock of hair or a photograph of the loved one.
Height: 4.3 cm
Width: 3.1 cm
Condition: slight lack of the enamel on the left side of the ceramic.
