Hold the locket, with the front facing you, on the right hand edge you’ll find a small indented lip. 


If you can’t find it, imagine your locket is a clock and you see it situated at the 2 o’clock space. 


Holding your locket securely, use your thumb and fingernail between the two side of the lip and place it in the groove to pop the locket open.


When you want to close it again, squeeze the faces on the locket towards each other until you hear a small click.


It’s that easy and now you can look at your memories whenever you like.

How to refresh your locket when your images arrive 

When you receive your replacement photo, it will have been printed to the size of your locket. Once received, slot the photo into the space, ensuring the edges of the photo are behind the lip on the inside of the locket, to be held securely in place.


Each locket has been individually polished in our workshop which means that the internal measurements can vary in size from piece to piece. You may therefore, need to trim the photo to fit your locket perfectly. If your image is a little small, we recommend using the small sticky dots received with your replacement photo to secure the picture in place.
