Miniature Portraits have been a common piece of sentimental jewelry for centuries. You see them during the Tudor Era through the Victorian period. Like our modern-day lockets, they were a way to keep a portrait of a loved-one or someone you admire close.

These historical miniatures feature portraits of well-know figures in history. They measure 35mm and are available in Silver plate, Gold plate, or Antique Gold plate. They are finished with either a simple decorative edge or a more elaborate crystal halo.

This miniature features the fabulous Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon. This portrait dates to 1807.
