History of Lockets

Before I post up more of my hand-made accessories, here's a bit about the history and the symbolic meaning of lockets.

Lockets first became popular during the Victorian era. The locket was meant to be worn next to the heart of its owner, either via a long chain or clipped to one's bodice with a pin. Queen Elizabeth I of England commissioned two lockets to commemorate the defeat of the Spanish Armada, which expanded lockets' popularity. During the U.S. Civil War, soldiers often left a lock of hair at home, which was placed into a locket by their sweethearts upon news of their death. In the 1890s, personal hygiene was not as stringently observed as it is today, so ladies often wore a Vinaigrette locket containing a cotton ball soaked with their favorite perfume.

Lockets are fascinating because they tell a story. When one opens the hinges of an old locket for the first time, a mystery is waiting to be discovered! Will it hold the photograph of a long-lost first love or the lock of hair from someone who perished long ago? Regardless of its contents, the locket was undoubtedly a very special piece of jewelry to its wearer.
