STORY:

Lockets have been meaningful, popular pieces of jewellery for hundreds of years but it was the Victorians who popularised them into what we recognise today - cherished tokens of love between sweethearts and family members.  

Nowadays nothing is private in a world of social networks. Every facet of our lives seems to be on show for all to see. Having a little locket is a way to keep at least one little secret close to your heart. 

This particular locket is inscribed with a "CR" or "RC" monogram in typical 1950s cursive script.  It is crafted in 18ct yellow gold with space for two photos inside. 

This locket is being sold on it's own however we can help you find the perfect chain if you need one.
