Silver Oval Locket for Pictures

Oval Lockets for Ashes or Photos

Our stunning collection of handmade sterling silver keepsake photo lockets are made using antique glass and are set in a sterling silver wrap around the edges. Available in 3 sizes and in heart, square, rectangle, round, oval, filigree oval, teardrop, and hexagon shapes, they are the perfect keepsake for a special memory and can house a photo or picture, a pressed flower, ashes or a lock of hair plus many other small sentimental mementos.

Many customers wear them with nothing inside as a fun pendant necklace while others prefer to keep their memories close to their hearts and will enclose something sentimental inside like using it as a lockets for ashes for pets. They are an alternative take on the traditional sterling silver locket necklace and can sometimes be referred to as an antique French locket or a memorial locket.

Hallmarking Policy:

By UK law any silver items i.e. Sterling silver, fine silver etc that weighs over 7.78 grams MUST be hallmarked. We are registered with the Assay Office in London, England and every piece of our jewellery over 7.78 grams has our 'sponsor' mark as well as the Assay Office mark and a mark to confirm the silver content - 925 for sterling and 999 for fine silver. This gives reassurance that what you are buying is indeed genuine silver. If you are purchasing something under 7.78 grams we can arrange hallmarking at your request but please note this will incur extra cost & will take longer to process.

We are often asked, 'what is the best way to keep silver from tarnishing' or for info on the best way 'to keep silver shiny'. The answer is simple, you either (1) wear it, (2) store it in a ziplock bag or (3) polish it. In no specific order, polishing your jewellery is an obvious one. There is nothing that I can think of that doesn't get dirty, and jewellery is no exception. So from time to time, it's going to need a clean (take a look at our polishing cloths for a great way to clean silver, gold and platinum).
