Keepsake Anniversary Gift, Blue Willow Photo Locket Necklace, Sentimental Jewelry

A locket is probably the most personal form of jewelry one can wear or give as a gift. Lockets and their contents can tell stories and express intimate details about one’s life. They are most often used to hold a picture of a loved one or a small and sentimental object. Lockets were popularized during World War I, when “sweetheart jewelry” became increasingly popular for women who wanted to hold a piece of their husbands close to their heart while they were away at war. A locket makes a great gift for someone who wants to honor a loved one by keeping their picture with them at all times, or as a way to help someone mourn a loss and preserve someone’s memory. Although lockets themselves may be small, the value of what they can hold are endless. Lockets make excellent pieces of keepsake jewelry because as they are passed down from generation to generation, the contents can be switched out and altered to fit the desires of their new owner while the significance of the locket itself is preserved. Our lockets come with a template to size your photos, a protective cover for photos and an inner frame to hold them in. It's easy! The most well-known design pictured on Blue Willow China is based on a fable about a couple that were turned into immortal doves so that they could remain united forever. Today, the doves remain a symbol of everlasting love. Vintage blue willow china from back in the day, featuring the love birds. Each one is hand carved and one-of-a-kind, just a little different and beautiful! The Willow pattern was originally designed by Minton in 1780 in an attempt to mimic popular Chinese patterns of the time, and the desirability of the design has stood the test of time.
