At The Locket Sisters, every piece tells a story—but some carry a kind of quiet magic that unfolds over time. The Betty Locket is one of those pieces. At first glance, it is delicate and refined. But look closer, and you’ll find something deeper: a story of enduring love, thoughtful gestures, and the beauty of being remembered.
The Meaning Behind The Betty Locket
The Betty Locket is named after Alyssa’s aunt—her “fairy godmother”—a woman whose love has always been steady, generous, and full of small but meaningful surprises.
Though miles apart—Minnesota and Washington state—Aunt Betty found ways to stay close. A sweatshirt from the university where she worked. A travel bag gifted at just the right moment in her twenties. A Christmas tree star sent after hearing there wasn’t one. Each gesture, simple on its own, became something lasting.
That’s the spirit of The Betty Locket.
It represents the kind of love that doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. The kind that shows up in thoughtful ways, over and over again. The kind that becomes part of your story without you even realizing it.
Much like Aunt Betty herself, this locket holds more than meets the eye. It’s detailed, elegant, and quietly rich—a piece that reveals its beauty slowly and meaningfully.
A Design That Reflects Its Story
The Betty Locket is intentionally petite, designed to feel effortless while still carrying deep significance. Its oval shape softens the piece, giving it a timeless, feminine feel that pairs beautifully with any style.
Locket Features:
- Petite oval pendant in gold or silver
- Cast in pewter and dipped in 24k gold or sterling silver
- Holds one photograph in an open bezel setting
- Designed to remain open so your photo is always visible
- Measures approximately 0.35" wide by 0.6" tall
- Finished with delicate, beaded ornate detailing around the rim
- Comes standard with the Original Chain (a tiny curb chain in gold vermeil or sterling silver), with options to customize
- Your photo is professionally secured with a protective resin
Pro Tip: The Betty Locket looks best with a photograph that can be softly cropped into an oval—enhancing its natural shape and vintage-inspired feel.
