For centuries lockets have been used to hold small tokens or pictures that held great significance to the wearer. Lockets themselves have been used throughout history to store medicines and poisons, lockets of hair and most recently photos of loved ones. Although they have always been popular, lockets became wide spread during the Victorian era in America and were frequently given as gifts at funerals.
A sterling silver locket is a wonderful way to give a special person in your life a piece of you to carry with them always. Although they are available in a variety and shapes and configurations, a heart shaped locket that holds one to two photos is the most popular choice today. Depending on the style you choose, some lockets can hold up to eight photos. Sterling silver lockets can be etched with a design or have gemstones on or around the locket.
Sterling silver jewelry is a beautiful choice for any holiday or gift giving occasion. Check for the 925 hallmark to ensure a high quality. As with any piece of jewelry, lockets should be stored carefully when they are not being worn to protect the surface. Sterling silver can tarnish over time but is easily repaired when polished. Avoid lockets that are silver plated or made from materials such as stainless steel or pewter.
Look for a great selection of sterling silver lockets online. Be sure to ask questions about your purchase such as a) is it in stock and b) does this item have a hallmark for silver purity. SilverAndGold.com has online consultants who can assist you in finding the perfect locket. Be sure to compare quality and pricing before making any decision.
