FAQs

Lockets gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, often utilised as sentimental keepsakes to hold miniature portraits, locks of hair, or small mementos close to the heart.

Traditional lockets were commonly crafted from yellow or rose gold, rolled gold, or precious metals, frequently embellished with hand-engraving, chased motifs, and inset gemstones such as rubies or seed pearls.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate hallmarks, integrated hinges, hand-cut components, and natural patina that indicates age and wear consistent with historical manufacturing methods.

A vintage gold locket can be layered with modern minimalist chains for a mixed-era aesthetic, or worn alone as a statement pendant against simple necklines.

Store lockets in a dry, lined jewellery box away from direct sunlight, clean them gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.
