A modern nod to Victorian-era sentimentality, our Era Locket reimagines the classic hair lockets popular in the 17th century. Historically these lockets preserved a lock of a loved one’s hair — a wearable shadow box symbolizing sentimentality, mourning, or the simple gesture of carrying one’s relationships close to the heart. The Era Locket features twin panes of mineral glass in a silver or gold frame. The locket measures 18mm in diameter and is 5mm thick. It hangs freely from our signature JH bail on your choice of cable chain. As a modern interpretation of their historic purpose, we are fortunate to partner with Gina Lacovelli, owner and artist of Mementos Entwined, to offer her custom hair work as an accompaniment to the Era Locket; a tangible memento in a treasured heirloom.
