The Design

The History of the Locket
Lockets have been worn for centuries as one of the most intimate forms of jewellery. Unlike other adornments, a locket is designed not just to be seen, but to hold something personal - a secret, a memory, a loved one.

The earliest lockets date back to the 16th century, when they were worn by European nobility. Originally, they were used to carry miniature portraits, strands of hair, or small keepsakes close to the heart. These early lockets symbolised loyalty, remembrance, and deep emotional bonds.

During the Victorian era, lockets became especially popular and meaningful. They were often worn as symbols of love, mourning, and devotion, holding photographs or mementos of spouses, children, or family members. Queen Victoria herself helped popularise sentimental jewellery, making lockets a timeless expression of connection and memory.

What a Locket Symbolises
A locket has always represented more than style - it represents closeness.

Traditionally worn near the heart, lockets symbolise:

• Love and connection
• Memory and remembrance
• Protection and comfort
• Personal identity and storytelling

Because what’s inside a locket is hidden from the world, it becomes deeply personal. It’s a quiet reminder of who or what matters most, carried with you wherever you go.

Why Choose a Locket?
In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, a locket is timeless.

A locket allows you to:

• Carry a loved one with you every day
• Preserve a meaningful moment or memory
• Create a one-of-a-kind piece that is uniquely yours
• Give a gift with emotional significance, not just aesthetic value

Whether it holds a photograph, a name, a date, or a word with meaning, a locket transforms jewellery into something deeply personal.

A Timeless Keepsake
Though styles have evolved, the purpose of the locket remains unchanged. It is still a symbol of love, memory, and connection - just as it was centuries ago.

Today, lockets continue to be chosen for their ability to tell stories, celebrate relationships, and hold what matters most, close to the heart.
