A beautiful oval sterling silver locket, engraved with an intricate hummingbird motif inspired by the elegance of the Victorian Aesthetic Movement. Small to medium in size, it’s a lovely piece of sentimental jewellery — ideal for keeping cherished photos or mementos close to the heart. Choose your locket on its own or with one of our fine-quality silver belcher chains, available in 20–24 inch lengths.

This locket pendant (not the chain) has been made in the UK.

Symbolism of the Hummingbird

The hummingbird is a symbol of love, joy, and perseverance. Its tireless pursuit of sweetness reminds us to seek happiness in small moments and to persist with grace and lightness through life’s challenges.

We also offer 5% off when you add two or more anklets to your basket.

*The loyalty and multi-buy discounts cannot be combined.

Sterling silver and 9ct yellow/rose gold all develop tarnish (the product of a chemical reaction), and this can happen quite quickly or slowly over time. Tarnish can look dark, discoloured or patchy and sometimes like a top layer of the metal is coming away - be assured it is not.

Tarnish tends to happen most quickly when the jewellery comes into contact with:

• Moisture, Perspiration & Humidity
• Chlorine / Pool / Hot Tub Chemicals
• Shampoos/Body Wash
• Sun Cream
• Perfumes, Moisturisers & Cosmetics
• Household Cleaning Products
• Insect Repellent

Light tarnish can be removed effectively from sterling silver and 9ct yellow or rose gold with a dedicated dry polishing cloth and we recommend the Town Talk brand. They have cloths for silver and gold. Do not use these cloths on gold plated jewellery.

For advice on removing more stubborn tarnish, please reach out with photos and we can give you some product/care suggestions.
