All about the lockets

The classic locket is making a huge comeback! Seen recently in all shapes and sizes on the catwalk in the 2020 A/W fashion shows.

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.

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 The Personalised Little 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.

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.

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.

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
