Engraving Tips
The preview is just a guide—our expert engravers will carefully centre and size your message for the perfect finish.
Double-check your preview—character limits apply to each line.These lockets are made to be worn every day, so consider timeless messages like names, dates, coordinates, or a simple “I love you.”
Seasonal greetings (like “Merry Christmas”) might be better left off so your locket stays meaningful year-round.
Caring for Your Locket
To keep your photos looking perfect and your locket in its best condition, we recommend keeping it dry and avoiding contact with water or moisture
Beautiful item for my daughters 30th birthday. Would purchase from here again.
Natalie D.
Really prompt delivery and service. I had my locket necklace engraved and a photo added to the inside. Both of which were of a good quality. The locket itself had a good weight to it and feels expensive. The chain has options to adjust the length too. Really lovely piece of jewellery and love how it can be personalised too. Very pleased with my purchase and will be making more in the future based on the quality of the necklace and the service provided. Happy customer!
Owen E.
Stunning necklace, made a wonderful gift for my wife, the photo of our children came out great as did the engraving.
Carolina T.
I am very happy with the purchase. The necklace has a pleasant weight to it and isn't too large or too small, delicate but substantial. It has fast become my favourite piece of jewellery!
At the moment of purchase I didn't have a good photo of my parents to insert, so I really appreciate that for a small fee I will be able to get the photo printed at any later stage.
I already have my eyes on the rest of the collection!
Cornelia S.

The quality of the photo and engrave are very good. I love it
Just wish if the chain was longer
Christy S.
Gorgeous. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Quality is more than excellent for the price.
Marisha O.

Purchased not one but three lockers for my girls as a tribute to my late Mum who we sadly lost recently. They are thrilled with product, lovely quality, look gorgeous and so easy to add and upload photos when ordering. Quick service too.
Lauren N.
Gorgeous locket. Really lovely quality and delivered quickly - even with personalisation. Thank you.
Helen A.
This is a lovely piece of jewellery and I think it’s amazing to be able to upload a photo, to be printed and put into the locket for you. I’m so pleased with mine. I chose a treasured photo of my husband with my son, when he was a little boy. I love that the chain is long and adjustable, so you can wear it in different ways depending on what clothes you’re wearing. The engraving on the back feels a little rough, but I’m sure it will become smoother over time, and I’m looking forward to wearing this for years to come.
Ami B.
Excellent customer service
Would buy again without hesitation
Rebecca G.
My niece absolutely loved her personalised locket, such a great idea to be able to have the engraving and the picture of your choice inside. A lovely gift.
Esther M.
Purchased as a 30th birthday gift for a close friend to help ‘guide’ her through the next part of her life. She loved it!
The quality is excellent and I found the price to be quite fair.
Beautiful necklace.
Bryony B.
The most beautiful locket bought as a Christmas present for my Mum to remember loved ones. She's going to love it so much! So easy to personalise and upload a photo.
Tara K.
This locket is so pretty. The gold tone is softer than any of the other vermeil pieces I've owned, which to me is preferable. It has beautiful shine and pairs nicely with my solid gold pieces. I would say when choosing a photo, pic one with good contrast between the subject and background. I chose a picture of my dog taken in portrait mode, which doesn't translate as well in a locket photo. Other than that, I'm thrilled with the product.
Emma U.
So beautiful..
Ebony M.

Kate N.

A 21st gift for my daughter, I was very impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of this locket. She loves it and was very touched to realise its a locket with her parents photo inside!
Lorraine T.
A lovely company to order from very efficient. The necklace for my daughters 21st Birthday was elegant and beautiful Thankyou
Julie B.
Excellent company. The ordering service was easy and clear - I could see exactly what the locket would look like with the photo inside. It arrived quickly and the packaging was lovely. It was a 60th birthday gift for my sister and she loved it.
Melissa K.
I absolutely love the piece! It is perfect! I will definitely be purchasing more - bracelet or another pair of earrings!
Maryam H.
I love it 😍
Cassie P.
This piece was perfect! My dear friend lost her newborn son and a group of our friends got this as memento for her. The engraving was beautiful and the photo inside was great quality. It arrived earlier than expected. There was great communication about customization.
Nisha P.
A beautifully made locket I will treasure forever, I had it engraved with my name. Love the fact it has a chain extender with a gorgeous little gemstone.
