From our Everyday Chic Collection – vintage elegance for every day.
 
Timeless. Poetic. Personal.
Step into a story you can wear. This enchanting 1980s silver-plated book locket necklace is more than a piece of jewellery — it is a vessel of memory, a whisper of nostalgia, and a symbol of love carried close to the heart.
 
Handsomely crafted 45 years ago, this vintage treasure still shines with its anti-tarnish, silver-plated finish, proof of enduring craftsmanship and resilience through time. Shaped like a miniature book, the locket opens to reveal two delicate frames — perfect for preserving photographs of your most beloved people, cherished places, or even secret tokens of your life’s story.
The 50 cm silver-plated chain drapes effortlessly, making it easy to wear every day. The locket itself — measuring 5 cm — feels like a small diary, a keepsake you can keep pressed against your heart wherever you go.
 
Styling Tips:
Wear it solo with a crisp white shirt or little black dress — let its vintage charm speak for itself.
Layer with dainty silver chains for a modern twist, creating depth and personality.
For a bohemian look, pair it with soft knits or flowing fabrics, letting the locket peek through as an intimate detail.
 
Collector’s Value:
Lockets of this kind are becoming increasingly rare. The book-form design — deeply symbolic of stories, memories, and knowledge — adds unique collector’s appeal. For vintage lovers, this is not just a necklace but a fragment of design history from the 1980s — a time when thoughtful, symbolic jewellery was treasured.
Whether gifted to a loved one, or worn as your own secret diary, this locket will outlive trends — an heirloom in the making.
