Photo lockets

Photo lockets are part of the pendant category. Generally antique, often dating back to the 19th century, they were designed to hold a photo or a memento of a loved one. They can open in two or three parts, and some even have two compartments.

Available in various shapes (oval, round, heart-shaped), they are sometimes decorated with stones engraved with the owner's initials, small fine pearls, precious stones such as ruby ​​or garnet, or even enameled in blue or black. Sometimes used as mourning or souvenir jewelry, they can contain hair in memory of a deceased person.

These pieces of jewelry are perfect for pairing with an antique chain or keeping and preserving a sentimental item.
