Lockets For Sale on 1stDibs
Find an expansive variety of lockets available on 1stDibs. All of the items for sale were constructed with extraordinary care, often using Gold, 18k Gold and Yellow Gold. Find a collection of 1256 vintage versions or 206 modern creations for a more contemporary example of these cherished accessories. Our collection, which features older pieces for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century, has proven very popular over the years. Pieces in our collection of lockets made by Victorian jewelers — as well as those associated with Art Nouveau — are very popular. Fabergé, Karen Sugarman Designs and Monica Rich Kosann each produced beautiful examples of these items that are worth considering. Lovers of these pieces agree that it’s a versatile accessory, but a selection from our variety of 440 Diamond versions can add an especially stylish touch. Today, if you’re looking for round cut lockets and are unable to find the perfect match, our selection also includes rose cut and brilliant cut alternatives. When shopping our range of lockets, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for men today than there are for women.
How Much are Lockets?
Prices for lockets can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $85 and can go as high as $225,000, while lockets, on average, fetch $2,243.
Finding the Right Necklaces for You
We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners. Today, Van Cleef necklaces, Tiffany necklaces and Cartier necklaces are some of the most popularly searched designer necklaces on 1stDibs.
Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers.
In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs.
For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone.
Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage David Webb necklaces — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt.
On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Dior, Chanel and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more.
Questions About Lockets
- What is a mourning locket?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A mourning locket is representative of the love and connection one shares with a loved one who is deceased. In olden times, these lockets often had inscriptions or a lock of hair from the deceased in them. Shop a collection of vintage and antique mourning lockets and other mourning jewelry from some of the world’s top jewelers on 1stDibs.
- What is a fob locket?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Fobs were originally created to attach to a man’s pocket watch, preventing it from falling out of his waistcoat pocket. Eventually, fobs were lengthened to be necklace chains, and women began carrying fobs with lockets and other pendants or jewelry attached. Find vintage and contemporary fob lockets from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- When was the first locket made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023No 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The main difference between a locket and a pendant is design. A locket has a hinged cover that allows you to place a picture inside, while a pendant lacks this feature. Shop a collection of pendants and lockets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What does wearing a locket mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023What wearing a locket means is largely a matter of personal interpretation.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023What a heart locket symbolizes is largely open to interpretation. Given the shape of the pendant, many people associate heart lockets with love.

On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of heart lockets.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Yes, a locket can be a good gift for your girlfriend. Many people associate the necklace with keeping a loved one close to the heart. You could place a photograph of the two of you inside as an extra-special surprise. Lockets come in many styles, so consider her style and tastes when selecting one.
