    Can the locket photos be changed?

    The photos are not permanently secured and can be replaced. To order replacement photos for your jewelry, simply click here to locate your piece and upload a photo. The replacement photo(s) will come with instructions on how to remove and replace the existing one. It will be cut to size, however you may need to trim the photo to fit your locket perfectly and if your image is a little small, we would recommend using a little double-sided tape to secure the picture in place. Removing the image can be a bit tricky. Our top tip would be using a small piece of blue/white tack and pressing this on top of the image with your finger as this will stick to it and help with removal. Alternatively, you may use a pin or a pair of tweezers to grab the edge of the photo, but be very careful if you do opt for this method to avoid scratching the locket. Please click here for more information.
