Victorian Silver Butterfly Locket & Chain band P&RB maker's markDATE: Victorian, c. 1882 A gorgeous Victorian locket with a finely enamelled red and yellow butterfly. To the back, "May 4th 1882". The butterfly is said to represent the soul, but the Victorians also believed that upon death, the soul would escape the body and simply fly away. The final phase of the butterflys life, the last journey of ones immortal soul. This may have been made as a piece of mourning jewellery, for someone who had lost a loved one.
