It's all about the Lockets

The classic locket is making a huge comeback! Seen recently in all shapes and sizes on the catwalk..

In a world of social over-sharing and Insta likes, it seems we are looking for ways to keep somethings private and personal. The lockets simple but intimate design allows you to keep your messages and secrets intimate and close to your heart.

While all jewellery is personal, the locket is probably the most personal of all. It is a true keeper of secrets and teller of stories.

If you head to any flea market or antique shop and open up the vintage lockets you will still see grainy pictures of young soldiers going off to war or a faded photo of a chubby baby who has now lived a life. Each one hints at its own tale.

Throughout history, the locket became the place to hold something special about someone special. Locks of hair, photographs & portraits, love notes and even ashes, were some of the keepsakes people enclosed.

However, now there are new ways to create a unique and stylish piece of jewellery which captures a moment. Here are some new designs and ideas on how to bring the traditional locket up to date whilst keeping it timeless . . .

The Message Locket

In the past ladies used to discreetly hide a love letter from a husband (or lover!) in her locket. The personalised envelope necklace is the new way to hold a ‘love note’. Maybe personalise the letter with a cute message from your children (perfect for Mother’s Day) or a special message from a loved one.

The Statement Lockets

Geometric shapes and designs make the locket a show-stopping statement piece while keeping your messaging hidden inside.

You can add important dates, names, a family motto along with a photograph to make it meaningful.

Alternative Lockets & Keepsakes

The new lockets don’t even have to be a traditional design... or even a necklace.

This unusual and delicate mussel shell design allows you to personalise with a birthstone of a loved one and a significant date or names & word.

Or a locket ring is the new way to carry your moments close.

The Story Book Locket

During wartime the photographic locket was so popular they were sold in post offices so estranged loved ones could send keepsakes to soldiers on the front line to remind them of home.

Our new Personalised New Story Book Locket allows you to take images away from your mobile or screen saver and capture them inside a unique locket to create your own forever album.

Create your own literal storybook by adding your most loved photographs of your most loved friends and family.

We can fit your photos for free. Or our simple How to guide shows you step by step how to make sure your image sits perfectly in the locket.

Talisman Lockets

As well as keeping your loved ones close, lockets were also used to guard against enemies!

Deadly poison was concealed inside a locket during Medieval and Tudor times.

Further back in ancient times lockets or amulets were seen to ward off evil spirits – so harness your good energy and choose a Chakra locket or Hansa hand to ward off the Evil Eye!

Its time then to embrace the locket! Not as a fleeting fashion trend but as the perfect forever guardian of your memories, a Modern-Day heirloom that tells your own unique story
