BALLOU HEIRLOOM LOCKETS

Lockets have a rich romantic past. . .

First created in the Middle Ages to hold religious relics, their modest lines were embellished by Renaissance artisans, who added elaborate engraving and precious jewels.
Royalty took a fancy to lockets, enclosing their own portraits within them, and presenting them as gifts.
In the Victorian era lockets were sentimental gifts often given at the time of a woman's betrothal. Inside might rest a lock of hair or a portrait of the beloved.

Today this charming tradition continues with Ballou Heirloom Lockets. Some are ornately engraved or embellished with fine cast details, others have simpler designs.
But no matter the style,each one has the finest details, the most beautiful finish. The hinge on each locket is carefully contoured to enhance its silhouette. The clasp is built on the interior, where it will not catch on woolens or lace. Each locket is finished both inside and out, and then hand-polished to a mirror-like finish.
