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.

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?

The Locket Sisters on NBC's Kare11 Morning Show and Fox9 Good Day for Mother's Day

When I was a kid there were a few local TV news anchorpeople who were iconic in my home. And one of them was Belinda Jensen from the local NBC affiliate here in the Twin Cities. When I found out The Locket Sisters would be featured on Kare11's weekend morning show I called my parents to let them know, and my Mom asked right away, "Will you be on with Belinda Jensen?" When I arrived that weeke…
