Your Complete Guide to Ordering a Personalized Locket for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a beautiful opportunity to honor the women who hold so much of our lives together—Moms, Grandmas, Aunties, and the mother figures who love us like their own.
This year, give her something deeply personal. A locket from The Locket Sisters isn’t just jewelry—it’s a way to keep the people, moments, and memories she treasures most close to her heart. Whether it’s her children, grandchildren, beloved pets, nieces and nephews, or even a place that means everything to her, a locket becomes a daily reminder of what she loves most.
"Absolutely gorgeous! I cried when I opened my locket. It is absolutely beautiful on the outside and on the inside has photos of my precious sons."
A Meaningful Gift—Made Simple
We believe meaningful gifts shouldn’t feel complicated. When you order a locket with us, we take care of every detail:
- Carefully resizing your photo to fit perfectly
- Sealing it with our signature resin for durability and clarity
- Packaging it in a beautiful keepsake box, ready for gifting
- Including a handwritten note if you’re sending it directly to her
All you have to do is choose a photo and a locket she’ll love—we’ll handle the rest.
"A beautiful remembrance. This locket is gorgeous and will keep my daughter’s memory close to my heart always. I was searching for just the right locket and came across The Locket Sisters. I love that the photos I selected are a permanent part of this locket. My daughter had cerebral palsy and despite her special needs was always happy and smiling..."
Choosing the Right Locket for Her
If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few thoughtful things to consider when selecting the perfect piece:
Size & Style
Does she love something delicate and minimal? Or a piece that makes a statement?
- Dainty lockets are perfect for everyday wear—subtle, timeless, and close to the heart.
- Larger lockets allow for more detail in photos and can be easier to see, making them a beautiful option for grandmothers or anyone who appreciates a bold, meaningful piece.
Metal Preference
Think about what she wears most often. Our lockets are available in:
- Sterling silver
- Gold vermeil
- Solid gold
- Gold plated
If she mixes metals, you’re in luck—many of our designs blend beautifully, making them versatile and easy to wear with everything.
Chain Length and Style
Chain length and style can completely change how a locket feels when worn. Some women love a shorter, higher placement, while others prefer a longer chain that’s easy to layer or slip on without a clasp. We have a variety of chain lengths and styles available.
If you’re unsure, choosing a slightly longer chain is often a safe and comfortable option and each of our lockets has a recommended chain choice that will make your decision easy.

Choosing the Photo: The Heart of the Locket
This is the most meaningful part—and sometimes the hardest.
If you’re feeling stuck, here’s our best advice: don’t overthink it.
The “perfect” photo isn’t about lighting or composition. It’s about connection. Choose a moment that means something—where faces are clear and the memory feels real.
- Smaller lockets work best with 1–3 faces
- Larger lockets can hold group shots or full family moments

More Than a Gift
At the end of the day, a locket isn’t just something she wears.
It’s something she reaches for.
Something she holds onto.
Something that reminds her, every single day, how deeply she is loved.
This Mother’s Day, give her a gift that stays close.
