The symmetrical design gives it a sense of balance and timeless elegance, which was highly prized in the Victorian period.

The locket is an oval shape, symbolizing eternity and continuity. Oval lockets were favored for their elegant form and ability to house personal keepsakes like portraits or hair locks.

Its size is relatively large, making it ideal for holding significant keepsakes, such as two photographs or larger sentimental items.

Both the front and back feature a striking sunburst pattern, a design that radiates from the central smooth oval. This symmetrical design not only enhances its aesthetic but also reflects the Victorian fascination with symbolism. The sunburst might represent energy, light, or eternity, themes that resonated deeply during an era when jewelry often carried emotional or symbolic meaning.

The central plain oval panel offers a smooth surface, likely intended for engraving or personalization. This was a common practice during the Victorian era, where lockets were often monogrammed with initials, dates, or meaningful inscriptions.
