Make Your Loved Ones Feel Special With Memory Lockets

Since the very beginning, lockets have been given to loved ones so that they can keep fond memories close to their heart. In Victorian times, they were primarily given and acquired at funerals, to replace mourning rings that had formerly been bequeathed to the bereaved by the departed or their heirs. Memory lockets are available in all styles, sizes and shapes. These days, they are likely to celebrate joyful events instead of sad ones. Read on for more information.

So, what is a good occasion to give a locket to someone you care about? Well, several occasions are obvious. Valentine’s Day, for example, is usually a day where couples swap gifts that represent their love; and a memory locket is an exquisite gift for a woman, which she is sure to treasure. Weddings are another option. The groom or a close family member may wish to give the bride a reminder of the special day, perhaps with photos of the happy couple or some other small item of significance to the occasion. A locket is also a great choice for the christening; it’s a lovely gift to give the child for when they grow up. Or, what about a special birthday, such as an 18th or 21st? There are also instances that aren’t so obvious, but still represent great opportunities for giving such a gift. For example, if you know a new mother, a reminder about the birth of her first child will always be appreciated. Or, maybe you would like to say thank you to your own mum for her many years of love and devotion by choosing one of the gorgeous floating memory lockets UK items for Mother’s Day?

There are numerous reasons why you should give such a gift, and thankfully many styles and varieties are available in stores. Therefore, you can pick one that will suit any woman’s preference. Three main types of locket exist. Firstly, we have the perfume locket, relatively rare these days, but appreciated by an older lady. Next, you have the traditional photo locket, in which more than one image of loved ones can be viewed and treasured. Nonetheless, perhaps the most affectionate of all is the keepsake locket. It has a tiny glass pane that allows the items within to be seen all the time. For many years, the item kept inside was a piece of hair from a loved one. But, in modern times, we choose stunning charms that signify a certain time or occasion in the receiver's life. Such charms can be in plain sterling silver or adorned with crystals. They are attractive and eye-catching without dominating or overwhelming the wearer’s clothes, and can be worn at any occasion at any time. Go for one that says ‘Mum’ for Mother’s Day, for example, and combine that with the symbol for infinity to indicate eternal love, and a horseshoe for good fortune. For newborn babies, why not go for baby feet to symbolise new life and a heart for love?

With memory lockets, the choices are endless, particularly if you buy from a jeweller such as Encanto Jewellery, where the classic value of this timeless gift is really appreciated. Why not start searching on their website for the perfect gift for a special woman in your life today?
