Lyre Studio Whitstable: Lockets are Great

Lockets are Great

We love lockets at Lyre Studio Jewellers of Whitstable

A locket is a hinged pendant to hold a picture. Originally the locket was designed to hold an hand painted portrait but in modern times we now put photographs in our lockets.

Famous Lockets

The Penicuik Jewels, which are held in The National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, includes a gold enamelled locket and a gold
necklace said to have been a gift from Mary, Queen of Scots to her
servant Giles Mowbray just before her death. This treasured locket contains tiny portraits of the Queen and James VI and probably dates from between 1576-1579.

Lockets traditionally hold a photograph of a loved one, however, some people choose to keep a memento of someone special in their locket such as a curl of hair or a babies finger print.

Lockets don't need to contain anything and can simply make great gifts because they look so attractive and stylish when worn.

Lockets can be designed in many shapes, the most popular being hearts, ovals and round.
