Vintage lockets hold memories, photographs, and meaning for the wearer. One of the more personal of jewelry items, the gold locket has existed for time immemorial. Lockets open to reveal compartments to hold keepsakes and can be set with diamonds, gemstones, or simply plain. Antique lockets come in a vast array of shapes and sizes, from inexpensive to elaborate and costly. Platinum, yellow gold, rose, and white gold are a few of the most frequently produced. Multiple photo lockets and book lockets are rarer and more unique but still can be found within. Which shape is preferred? It's all up to you, as many are round, oval, heart-shaped, square, or rectangular. Even Victorian lockets of the 19th century in silver rank as every popular. Many engravers spent countless hours with themes from birds to flowers, buckles, animals, and landscape motifs. As a gift, the locket is ideal. Not quite as laden as the ring, it is worn next to the heart. Buying a locket can be an unexpected surprise for your wife, daughter, sister, or loved one. View less
