When I think of lockets, tear-jerker films come to mind as they have always served as a memento for loved ones lost. Think deep, longing stares into space with hand tightly clutched around the pendant or a fond gaze at the picture hidden within.
Popularised during the Victorian age, these intricately engraved trinkets were used to enclose keepsakes, good luck charms, ashes, hair (voodoo?) and even poison. But fret not! The latest addition to the charming collection of Carrie K. is anything but ominous.
Bringing a contemporary touch to the traditional silver is Little Loves Lockets, where bearing your inner secrets is the way to go. Made of domed glass covers, what’s traditionally protected from the public eye is now in full view.
Completely customisable to your heart’s content (pun intended), it’s like having a mini exhibition of your loved ones, treasured moments or reflections of your mood, interests or personality. Isn’t the idea quaint? The lockets also come in three different shapes for more options. I personally like the square one as it looks more modern.
On the topic of whimsies, I have a sudden urge to pick up the novel that inspired the title of this post. Guess which!
