What is a locket necklace?

A locket necklace is a pendant that opens to a small storage compartment. Lockets are often deeply personal, symbolizing enduring love, remembrance, and connection. A locket necklace is a timeless keepsake to hold important memories close to your heart. It makes a special gift for birthdays, milestones, or weddings. You can further personalize your locket necklace with custom engravings or symbolic gold charms.

What can you put inside a locket?

Lockets traditionally held small photographs of loved ones, notes or secret messages, a lock of hair, or even a piece of fabric soaked in perfume. You can also include photos of cherished memories or pets, pressed flowers, meaningful quotes, or dried herbs. Some brides keep pieces of lace from their wedding dress as a memento.

How do you customize lockets with photos?

When customizing your locket with a photo, consider the locket's size and shape. You'll want to make sure the image scales properly and that the photo's focus shows in the locket shape. Our heirloom-quality Dollhouse Lockets keep your treasured photos safe and near to your heart. To place your photo, print it to scale, cut it, and use a dab of superglue to set it in place. Download a template for precise measurements to help you cut photos to fit.
