A rare 9ct, stamped, gold circular double sided locket by Wellington jeweller Frank Grady. Monogrammed to the front and photo’s inside as shown in the pics.
This double‑sided locket was crafted by Frank Grady, one of Wellington’s respected late‑19th‑century jewellers. Working from the 1880s onward, Grady produced finely made gold and silver pieces that blended traditional British training with the emerging character of New Zealand decorative arts.
Made in 9ct gold, the locket shows the careful hand‑finishing typical of his workshop, with balanced proportions and a smooth, elegant profile. Lockets from this period were often commissioned as personal keepsakes, and Grady’s examples are known for their durability and understated refinement.
Today, jewellery by Frank Grady is appreciated for its connection to early New Zealand craftsmanship and the quality of small‑work produced in Wellington’s developing jewellery trade. A surviving gold locket from his bench offers both sentimental charm and collectible historical value.
