Buying Lockets: The Piece of Jewelry with a Little Secret

Locket: The piece of jewelry with a hidden interior

Buying a locket means acquiring a piece of jewelry that carries more inside than is visible on the outside. The classic locket – a pendant with a hinged compartment for photos, hair, or other small treasures – is one of the most romantic and meaningful pieces of jewelry imaginable.

History of the Locket

Lockets have a long history. Already in the Renaissance, aristocrats wore small miniature portraits of loved ones on their bodies. In Victorian England, lockets containing locks of hair from the deceased were worn as mourning jewelry. Today, they are living keepsakes.

What can a locket hold?

• Photos: The most classic interior – a photo of a partner, children, or parents
• Hair: A lock of hair from a loved one or a child
• Small message: A handwritten note with a few words
• Ashes: Modern lockets with a waterproof compartment for cremation ashes

Locket Shapes and Styles

• Round locket: Classic, timeless – for one or two photos
• Oval locket: Elegant and slightly larger – for better photo quality
• Heart-shaped locket: Romantic – ideal as a gift for a loved one or for Mother's Day
• Rectangular locket: Modern – for a clean, geometric aesthetic

For whom is a locket the right gift?

• Mothers and grandmothers (photos of children/grandchildren)
• Mourners (remembrance of a deceased person)
• Partners (photo of a loved one)
• People in long-distance relationships (always carrying a picture of the other person)
