Locket Necklaces represent Love, Meaningful Connections and Cherished Memories

At Theo Grace, we believe the most meaningful jewelry tells a story…yours. Personal locket necklaces are the ultimate storytelling piece: a personal "photo album” designed to hold what matters most. Tracing back to the romance of the Victorian era, lockets once hung from silk ribbons or fine chains, containing tiny portraits, secret notes, or even a loved one’s lock of hair. Today, they remain just as intimate, crafted in sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil, customized with personal engravings and a cherished photo, our photo locket necklaces are designed to keep memories, literally close to your heart..

Over the years, locket necklaces have evolved, shifting in style and material to reflect the moment, while never losing their timeless allure. From ornate Victorian keepsakes to sleek, modern silhouettes with personalized touches, these pieces have remained a constant in the world of meaningful jewelry. Today, a locket necklace still captivates with equal parts sentiment and style, designed to hold your most personal moments close.
