A brief history on the mystique behind lockets and why we love them so much:
Throughout history lockets have been a sentimental piece of jewelry. Originally associated with secrets & witchcraft they have evolved into the most sentimental keepsake of all time. As photography developed and became accessible to the masses so did the popularity of the locket. In the mid to late 1800’s lockets were worn in mourning with a photo of a loved one and perhaps a lock of their hair close to the heart.
At the turn of the 19th century and during the two World Wars, lockets became known as the “sweetheart gifts” given to wives, girlfriends and fiancés from soldiers going off to war.
The sentimental value of a locket continues to this day. Vintage lockets are popular collectables and whether truly vintage or vintage inspired, a gold locket remains one of the most romantic gifts of all time.
