Our love of lockets dates back to the Victorians and lets be honest, their popularity has never wained, with the likes of Amy Wine house and Katie Holmes (who is reported to carry a picture of Tom and her daughter Suri in hers) supporting the locket wearing trend. Their popularity is partly due I think to its secrecy as no-one but the wearer knows its contents.  Another reason for their continued status is the fact that so many of us have family abroad or living away, we like to carry their pictures with us always as a way of keeping them close to our hearts.

Modern Locket Styles

Gone are the days of the traditional large heavy oval locket, instead it has been replaced with a more modern and contempory design. Nowadays, some lockets don't even look like lockets. Little Pinkie's collection includes a unique charm lockets. These lockets are securely fastened onto a Pandora bracelet and to the untrained eye they just look like a heart charm. Open it up and it reveals a secret compartment designed to hold 2 pictures. It's very cute.
