Iconic. Personal. With a little room to store a photo, note or other treasures to make it extra special, our oval locket is a GLDN classic (and for good reason).

Personalize with a special initial or one of over 10 illustrations (like a crescent moon or tiny heart)!

Materials

14k Gold Filled

Ease of care: 4/5

A practical balance between cost and quality, our gold-filled pieces have a thick layer of 14k gold, heat and pressure bonded to a high-quality brass core. They contain much more real gold than regular gold-plating.

Sterling Silver

Ease of care: 4/5

Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!

FAQs

All you need to know about the Oval Locket Necklace.

Find answers to our most-asked questions here, from care tips to jewelry options and more.

You can personalize the Oval Locket Necklace with a custom initial or choose from 10+ illustrative stamps.

We don't insert photos, but we have a template to make it easier for you to do at home!

The materials are waterproof, yes, but the locket itself isn't watertight. Always remove your locket before showering or swimming if you have a photo inside.

We always recommend storing your locket in an airtight container (to prevent oxidation, specially on sterling silver), polishing once per month to remove any tarnish and keeping your piece away from harsh cleansers and chlorine. For more detailed care tips, check out our journal!

Choose either our minimal cable chain (for a daintier look) or our round box chain (for a slightly bolder look). Both are classic staples that’ll stand the test of time.

Every GLDN piece comes wrapped in our signature gift-ready box with a polishing cloth, care card, handwritten note and letterpress goodies inside.

It really depends on your personal style. Both 14k gold fill and sterling silver are timeless, long-lasting metals that are easy to care for and made to wear 24/7. For more information on our metals, check out our jewelry metal guide.

We love layering lockets with chunky chains (like our Faun Chain or Bold Paperclip Chain) or styled solo for a simple, timeless look.

We only offer dainty initial stamps on this piece, due to the curved surface of the locket.

Since it depends on which metal you chose, see our care tips blog and help center for detailed instructions on how to care for specific metals and gemstones. (Spoiler: all of our pieces require very minimal upkeep and occasional polishing, and can basically be worn 24/7 if you keep them away from harsh cleansers, chlorine and chemicals.)

It varies based on where you are in the world, and whether the piece is marked made-to-order or ready-to-ship. See our shipping page for specific arrival times.

Yes! We have a full happiness guarantee for every piece, even personalized ones. See our Return Policies for full info on returns, repairs and exchanges.

Timeless, sturdy, goes with everything
I ordered this piece with my daughter’s initial on it to commemorate her first day of kindergarten and what felt to me like the bittersweet end of the part of our lives together where she was a baby. I knew I wanted to treat myself to a custom piece and I’ve never been a locket person, so I’m honestly not sure what drew me to this, but I absolutely adore it. It feels so sweet to have a little baby picture close to my heart all the time, and it goes with everything. I got mine in the longest length and I’ve worn it solo and layered with other necklaces and it’s always sort of the cherry on top, adding something to every outfit. I’m keeping a collection of the jewelry that comes into my life to mark milestones with my daughter and I plan to pass it down to her when she’s older, and I have concerns about some of those pieces standing the test of time, but this one is definitely sturdier and higher quality than others and I feel really sure (even though I’m currently wearing it daily) that this one is one she’ll be proud of and enjoy wearing herself when the time comes - if I can part with it, that is.
