    Strawberry was a symbol for Venus, the Goddess of Love during the Victorian era due to its heart shape and red color.
    Strawberry leaf is a rare design to find in a locket from the Victorian era.
    Leaf curls realistically with finely crafted veins and serrated edges with wonderful charm
    .
    Nicely sized recess allows for photos and slim memento.
    Excellent condition showcases the design detail and quality of construction.
    BackStory
    On Figurals
    .
    Figural jewelry includes any piece that has been shaped into an animal, person, object, or detailed “day in the life” scene. Antique and vintage figural jewelry is often quite charming and collectible for the realistic or cutesy details. Specific objects or animals became popular and prolific in jewelry during certain time
    , Scotty dogs during the 1940’s for example, or swallow birds during the Victorian era. Figural jewelry is special for its detail and realism but also tells the story of the decade they were made in.
    On Uncommon Pieces.
    Uncommon antique and vintage pieces are often highly collectable because you are not likely to find another one. While some uncommon pieces have garnered a cult following, others are so uncommon that they do not have a large fanbase. The latter type may not be considered collectables, but they are lovely, one-of-a-kind finds.
