The rise of the Art Deco Era left a stark contrast to past locket and pendant wearers. Gone was flow, roundness and curvature; now sharp angles, squares and the geometrical were the favor. Even the hairstyles of the day were shorter, more rigid in shape. A direct dichotomy and escape to the rise of a woman’s independence and perhaps where the selfie was invented? So no longer were we wearing our painted paramours around our necks, but our very own portraits.

Each locket is one-of-a-kind, and in some cases, over 100 years old. Each has unique wear and tear that adds to the charm and history of the piece. 

Locket #1 (1935) is adorned with the US Naval Academy insignia on the front. Measures approximately 0.75 " by 1.25"

Locket #2 (1920 - 1930) is a unique square shape with beveled corners. A simple diamond shape is engraved in the middle and kiss-lock clasp on the bottom. May have been used as a pressed powder compact! Measures approximately 1.5" by 1.5"

 With the introduction of the French era jewelry of Art Nouveau, the feminine, not the sentimental, was now the star of the show: Sweet-faced and natural, with hair in constant flow, it depicted its female subjects most beautiful with long lines and elegant curves; often set in enamel called plique-a-jour. And although there is room for both you and a portrait of your beloved to hide, perhaps instead, a floral solid perfume could reside? A subtle nod in celebration of all things organic, Nouveau and the feminine.

Leave it to a queen to start a whole new movement in jewelry. It was Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Albert that first defined the Sweetheart Locket; with Victoria being gifted a charm bracelet with eight hanging pendants, each containing a lock of hair from their children  - to after Albert’s passing  - where she had a locket dangling, his portrait encasing. A wearable reminder of the love they clearly had for each other and the beginning of the lock down of lovers.
