Every antique and vintage locket we come across has kept something close to their wearer's heart– a photo, a lock of hair, little things that connect to a loved one or memory. When they come to us with photos inside, we adore seeing the smiling faces of people who were so cherished. Heart-shaped lockets, especially, connect us to love in all its forms. Their iconic shape is direct and sincere, making it a classic keepsake. It's easy to imagine why someone would collect such a sweet, sentimental object! 

This collection of dozens of antique heart lockets is on full display in this spectacular garland necklace! Forty-four gold-filled lockets, each with its own charming qualities, are attached to a long rope chain, their bales fixed around a single link so the locket dangles freely on one point of the necklace. They layer beautifully and are a marvel to experience. Taking in each locket, one by one, noticing the little details that makes each one special, or places it in a different time, feels like taking in a story, a lifetime of loving memories. Each locket originated between the late 19th century and around 1945, indeed spanning what may have been the wearer's lifetime! This amazing necklace is a work of art and an ode to the much-beloved heart locket. It is full of joy and certain to be cherished for lifetimes to come.
