These vintage sweetheart engraved lockets are beautiful and filled with personality. Soldiers in the 1940's took Prince Albert’s original romantic gesture and cue and cut out heart-shaped photographs of themselves intended to be worn by their paramours until they returned from distant shores. A modern day definition of (a) relationship long distance that is now passed from one romantic generation to the next.
