When was the first locket made?
1 Answer
No one knows for sure when the very first locket was made, but 16th-century examples have been found. After the execution of Charles I in 1649, people wore lockets that contained miniature portraits of the king, and by the 18th century, it was fashionable to wear lockets that contained locks of hair from someone you admired. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of lockets from some of the world's top sellers.
