Vintage Heart Locket Pendant

"Lockets, in one form or another have been around for centuries. Used to carry powder or poisions, keepsakes, good luck charms, hair, ashes, and most recently pictures. Through the years, lockets have been made in many metals, such as: brass, copper, aluminum, iron, sterling silver, gold and platinum. The Victorian’s loved lockets. As mechanical techniques improved around the turn of the 20th century, the locket was mass manufactured for costume jewelry. Many of the Victorian lockets were set with seed pearls, and gem stones in bright colors and sometimes diamonds with old miner's cuts. Round and heart shaped lockets were probably the most popular at the time, with many of them being monogrammed with the owners initials." I believe lockets to be the perfect keepsake. I remember being in awe of this unique jewelry at a very young age. We would go on antique hunts for lockets in Manila in the late 80s/early 90s. There is just that old charm about lockets that I truly have a soft spot for. Enjoy this piece from THJ's Heart Collection. Happy Saturday, Tata friends!
