Vintage and Antique Lockets

Vintage & Antique Lockets: A Story Close to the Heart

There’s something deeply personal about wearing a locket. Whether it holds a photograph, a secret note, or simply the promise of a memory, vintage and antique lockets carry a quiet intimacy that modern jewelry rarely captures. At Market Square Jewelers, our curated collection of vintage lockets and antique lockets celebrates this enduring tradition where sentiment meets style.

Each locket in our collection has a past: a life lived, a love cherished, a memory preserved. We’ve gathered these timeless treasures from different eras—Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and more.

Lockets That Tell a Story

From delicate gold ovals to bold repoussé lockets, our collection spans a range of styles and periods:

– Victorian lockets often feature hand-engraved motifs, mourning symbolism, hand engraved monograms or secret compartments.
– Floral lockets showcase flowing, nature-inspired designs and graceful femininity.
– Gemstone lockets have an added layer of special with the addition of a sparkling gem like a diamond or an amethyst. 
- Simple gold lockets are timeless and are the perfect canvas for a custom engraving.

Whether you’re drawn to a classic heart-shaped locket or a rare piece with intricate etching or monograms, each locket reflects the era it came from and the hands that once held it.

Why Choose a Vintage or Antique Locket?

Lockets are more than jewelry—they’re treasure chests for our memories. Choosing a vintage or antique locket means embracing a piece with history, soul, and sustainable beauty. These pieces were crafted to last, often by jewelers whose attention to detail is unmatched today.

Many of the lockets within our collection include features like a cloth lined inner wall, or frame inserts to hold photos in place. Others bear the gentle patina of time, a reminder of the lives they’ve touched before yours.

Styling Your Locket

Wear your locket close to your heart, layered with vintage or modern chains or on its own for a statement of quiet beauty. We have a vast collection of chains you can choose from to create the perfect completed necklace.
