History of Locket Necklaces
A locket necklace is defined as a pendant that opens and reveals a space used for storing a photograph. While we consider other jewelry as personal, lockets are perhaps the most private among all. A gold locket necklace, sterling silver locket necklace, and photo locket necklace can mean more than the sum of their parts. Lockets indicate more than compared to other jewelry or keepsake because lockets tell stories. Way back in history, locket necklaces are jewelry that contains a portrait, a lock of hair, or a tiny love letter. This jewelry has become a classic accessory. Over history, locket necklaces have been worn by both men and women. Although locket women's necklaces have been famous, many men’s locket necklaces have been designed. Lockets, in general, have evolved in many forms and different views in history. We now think about a silver locket necklace, a charm locket necklace, a picture locket necklace, or a kids' locket necklace; these collectibles have evolved to meet a gorgeous piece of jewelry.
Locket necklaces increased in number during the 19th Century but already dated back earlier. They have become a symbol and representation of love and marriage, too. Like for example, a heart locket necklace symbolizes love and union. Some lockets like locket necklace for ashes have been symbols for mourning, preserving the dead's memory. In history, the symbolism of the locket necklace is reflected in many facets. Though locket necklaces increased in number in the 19th Century, they made names during the 16th Century. European were believed to wear lockets as their way to ward off evil spirits and embrace good luck. Over the 19th Century, the most famous locket necklace was the heart locket necklace. While in the 20th Century, the most popular locket necklace was a photo locket.
In the modern-day, lockets and charms are back in fashion. In a digital age, locket necklace reproduction has become almost too easy. Filling a locket necklace with a photo offers a unique keepsake for locket necklaces nowadays. A long time ago, lockets were typically worn as necklaces, but now, they can be worn on rings and locket brochettes. The purpose of the lockets has changed throughout history. Nowadays, wearing locket necklaces may have a personal meaning to the wearer, but it has been a part of everyone's fashion style. As the history of locket necklaces evolved and the pieces became more fashionable, the jewelry's purpose may change slightly. Still, one thing that won't change about wearing locket necklaces is the locket's significance on the person wearing it.
