Locket Necklaces

A locket is a piece of jewellery - usually a pendant or necklace - that opens to reveal a photo or memento hidden inside. These pendants look beautiful alongside any jewellery piece, and are available in both simple and ornate designs, such as round, oval and heart-shaped lockets. They make an incredible and thoughtful gift on special occasions such as Valentine’s Day, birthdays or anniversaries, and are popular thanks to their unique sentimentality.

A gold locket makes a stunning and thoughtful gift for that special someone in your life, particularly if you know they would love to wear it. 

When selecting a locket as a gift, be sure to consider your loved one’s personal style, including their preferred precious metal. Do you they usually wear gold necklaces or opt for silver necklaces? Perhaps they would enjoy a gold heart locket, gold oval locket, or a silver locket. For an additional surprise and thoughtful angle to your gift, insert a photo, picture or letter that is meaningful to you both.

It’s up to you how you wear your silver or gold photo locket, whether as an elegant standalone piece or layered with other chain necklaces and pendants.

When styling your locket with other necklaces, opt for chains that are either longer or shorter in length to achieve an on-trend layered look. You may choose to style your locket necklace with earrings or other necklaces of the same metal, or to mix and match metals depending on your style.

Most lockets tend to be quite small, so take care when selecting a picture for your locket necklace that it is small in size, or have it printed smaller to fit.

Cut the section of the picture you would like to place in your gold locket necklace down to the size and shape of the locket before placing it inside.

Pendants and lockets are similar in that they are both medallions which are suspended from a chain necklace. A pendant can be made using precious gemstones such as rubies, diamonds or pearls, or can be a heart, letter or shape that means something to the wearer. A locket is a type of pendant that opens and closes, often in the shape of a heart or circle, and can hold photographs or images that mean something special to the wearer. A pendant or locket necklace makes a beautiful gift that will be a cherished piece of jewellery.
