Best of Etsy: Beautiful lockets

If you’re looking for a classically elegant piece of jewellery you can wear regularly, you’ll love the many stunning creations at Tryst. This vintage-inspired cameo locket, for example, will add subtle sophistication to any ensemble. Or for a touch of Asian inspiration, this petite locket, which comes in three striking hues, will be just right.

Lockets don’t have to be so small that they can only hold a thin photo inside. This beautiful floral wish ball locket from Coeur de Pierres comes with three shining cubic zirconias tucked away in its centre. But you can replace them with a small wish note, a special tiny token or the birthstones of your closest family and friends, so wherever you go, their love and support will always be nearby.

You’ve likely seen round lockets, oval lockets and even heart-shaped lockets, but have you ever seen a locket that’s shaped like a book? Perhaps not, but that doesn’t mean you won’t fall in love with this unique book locket necklace from A Pocket of Posies. The intricate detailing and elegant charms make it a truly lovely item. Or if you don’t wear necklaces on a regular basis, check out the shop’s stunning heart locket ring for a fun and pretty twist on a classic piece of jewellery.

Typically the special memory or person you want to hold on to is kept inside your locket. But that isn’t the only way. With the beautiful collection of antique bronze photo lockets available at Twenty Six 7, such as this Eiffel Tower necklace, you can celebrate meaningful individuals and occasions both with pictures inside and with the image on the front. Whether it’s the initials of you and your special someone, an animal that inspires you or an image that makes you smile, your locket can carry meaning in more ways than one.
