The Last Photo We Had With My Mom

"The first photo was taken during my Bar Exams review. This was the last photo we had with my mom. She passed away before my exams. In the second photo, we had a new member of the family, my daughter. We brought my mom’s photo because our family photo would be incomplete without her."…

Meet Mandy!

Mandy started working at The Locket Sisters about four years ago when my sister and I had to do some international traveling to find answers to some questions that our local mentors and colleagues couldn't provide. I remember we gave her a whole setup for getting photos inside lockets with our process from her home (which is hilarious to think about now). Mandy has been here part-time since n…

14k Solid Yellow Gold Locket Necklaces by The Locket Sisters

I love beauty. I love it for the sake of itself, I love it for other people, I love it for myself, I love it through all the senses. Candles that subtly resemble a spa, a tidy home that makes it easy to find your keys, background music that sets a mood, the kind where you don't notice it until you you realize that you're loving the vibe of a place and then connect that someone intentionally…

In her order, Lisa wrote a moving note to us about the photograph and why she was getting this for her brother, I'll let you read it in her words:"We recently lost our sister to suicide. I still have no words, wh…

Vintage and Bespoke Lockets: Instagram Exclusive

The MOST common question we get is if we can put your photos into your lockets, rather than into our locket designs. Generally someone has a locket they've received from a grandparent, or a parent, or as a gift, or they nabbed it when it caught their eye at a vintage shop or antique store or better yet - a garage sale! A steal!Generally, our answer is, "No, we don't put photos in other people's lo…

Lockets: A Universal Healer and the Genesis of The Locket Sisters

Have I ever told you about the moment The Locket Sisters was born? Or perhaps conceived is a better word? I think of it often this time of year because it's related to this season we're in, and entering, of “back to school” and the milestones and separations and new beginnings held within. Let me share it with you now. Almost exactly five years ago my then-three-year-old daughter, Penny, star…

"In her honor, my husband takes many walks with a weighted backpack"

"My husband tragically lost his mother in the Champlain Towers last summer. The picture I chose is of my husband as a teen with his mom. She loved to walk and in more recent years had trained for and hiked El Camino de Santiago in Spain. In her honor, my husband takes many walks with a weighted backpack. It has helped him process and grieve his loss. I want to gift him this lapel so he can ca…
