Meet the Collection

Oval Locket

The minimalist’s heirloom. Clean lines, a smooth profile, and all the quiet luxury energy. If your style is crisp white shirts and perfect tailoring, this is your go-to locket necklace.

Floral Locket

Softly detailed with a vintage-inspired botanical motif, this locket brings major romantic charm. Perfect for garden-party dresses, knits, and anyone who constantly stops to smell the roses.

Heart Locket

A forever-favorite heart locket necklace that feels playful and iconic at once. Think love notes, first-day jitters, and warm fuzzies, but wearable.

Why locket necklaces never go out of style

  1. They’re personal. Lockets have always been about meaning like tiny talismans you keep close.

  2. They’re versatile. Dress them up, dress them down, layer them or let one shine solo.

  3. They’re timeless. A locket is the rare trend-proof piece that still earns compliments in every decade.

How to choose your locket necklace

Choose a locket that fits your vibe, or your love story

By aesthetic

  • Polished & modern: Choose the Oval Locket for clean, minimalist lines.

  • Romantic & detailed: Pick the Floral Locket for a softly feminine, vintage-inspired feel.

  • Sweet & iconic: Reach for the Heart Locket when you want instant “aww” with your outfit.

By mood

  • Everyday ease: A simple locket (hello, Oval) plays well with tees, trousers, and everything in between.

  • Date-night drama: The Floral Locket reads poetic and pairs beautifully with slip dresses and blazers.

  • Statement of affection: The Heart Locket says what you’re feeling before you even do. Think anniversary or even a bridal gift

The gold locket necklace moment

Searching for a gold locket necklace you’ll actually wear on repeat? Start with the silhouette that mirrors your style. Gold tones bring warmth and glow to every skin tone and look especially luxe layered. Try a “long + short” stack: a shorter chain with your favorite everyday pendant, then your gold-toned locket a few inches longer for movement and shine.

The heart locket necklace, if you’re feeling sentimental

Heart shapes are a classic for a reason, they’re instantly recognizable and endlessly giftable. A heart locket necklace is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because. It’s an effortless way to nod to love (self-love counts!) without saying a word.

Style it your way

  • Solo & sleek: Let a single locket sit center stage against a crewneck or open collar.

  • Layered & lived-in: Mix your locket necklace with a choker and a longer chain for texture and dimension.

  • High/low magic: Pair it with structured tailoring for a chic contrast or with soft knits for cozy romance.

  • Seasonless switch-up: In warmer months, go for breezy necklines; in cooler seasons, style your locket over a fitted turtleneck.

What is a locket necklace?

A locket necklace is a pendant designed with a hinged compartment, traditionally used to keep something meaningful close. It’s a classic keepsake style that blends sentiment with everyday wearability.

Can I wear a locket every day?

Absolutely. Lockets are made to be part of your real-life wardrobe. Keep yours looking fresh by giving it a quick wipe with a soft cloth and storing it separately when not in use.

What outfits work best with locket necklaces?

Everything from tees and denim to slip dresses and suiting. For effortless balance, try your locket with a scoop or V-neck, or layer it over a fitted knit when it’s chilly.
