Lockets were popular in the Victorian era worn on chains or ribbons holding painted portraits or locks of hair of loved ones.


Lockets are small, hinged jewelry boxes that have been popular for centuries. The history of lockets can be traced back to the 16th century, when they were first used as a way to keep a small portrait or memento close to the heart.

In the Victorian era, lockets were a popular item of jewelry and were often given as gifts to commemorate special occasions, such as a birth, wedding, or death. They were also used to hold photographs, lock of hair, or small sentimental items.

Lockets were often intricately designed and were made from a variety of materials, including gold, silver, and brass. Some were decorated with precious gems or engraved with sentimental messages.

During World War I, lockets were popular among soldiers as a way to keep a picture of their loved ones close to them while they were away. In the 1920s and 1930s, lockets became a popular fashion accessory and were worn by women as part of their daily attire.

Today, lockets are still popular and are often used as a symbol of love, remembrance, and heritage. They are available in a variety of styles and designs and can be found in antique shops, jewelry stores, and online. Whether they hold a special memory or serve as a fashion statement, lockets continue to be cherished by people all over the world.
