As with so many creations in the world of jewelry, lockets are thought to have originated in ancient Egypt as amulets, talismans, and mementos. Lockets experienced steady growth in popularity throughout Europe starting in the 1500s when they were used as a means to ward off evil spirits.
With the invention of photography, lockets have remained a popular choice for marking important life milestones and sentimental gifting occasions.
