Lockets

Lockets have been around for centuries.  Initially they were used to carry herbs or medicine.  They began to be used to store pictures during the Victorian Era.

Today there are a wide variety of lockets available on the market.   They can come in different metals including gold and silver.  They can hold one, two or even up to six pictures.  They come in various shapes as well from round to heart shape and some are set with diamonds.  Engravable lockets can be mongramed or names can often be engraved on the back. 

Our favorite locket is the musical locket.  These lockets hold a picture and when you open it, they play a tune.  We sell three musical lockets.  The tunes our lockets play include My Girl, Unchained Melody, and You are My Sunshine.  The You are My Sunshine locket is the most popular, with almost every purchaser telling us a story about this song reminding them of childhood memories.
