SILVER PUFFED OCTAGONAL LOCKET
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Alright, lovely humans, gather 'round because I’m about to introduce you to the locket equivalent of your favourite rom-com heroine—charming, a tad mysterious, and essential for those moments when you need to carry a piece of your heart (or just a cute photo) with you. Meet our Pretty Dainty Vintage-Style Locket, the perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern-day practicality.
Eight Sides of Elegance
Don’t let its rectangular facade fool you—this locket is an eight-sided wonder, polished to perfection and fully hallmarked for that extra sprinkle of authenticity. Measuring a dainty 22.9mm high and about 12.19mm wide, it’s the ideal size to whisper sweet nothings to your neckline without screaming for attention. Inside, you’ll find two open compartments, perfect for tucking away your favourite photos or little keepsakes that make you smile (or cry, no judgment here).
Mix, Match, and Marvel
Here’s the thing: we know everyone’s got their own style quirks. That’s why I sell my chains and pendants separately—because who wants to be stuck with a one-size-fits-all accessory? Mix and match until you find that perfect combination that screams you. Trust me, it’s a winner.
More Treasures Than Your Imagination Can Handle
Can’t find exactly what you’re looking for on the site? No stress! There’s a treasure trove of options beyond what’s displayed. Drop me a line, and I’ll hook you up with a discount on chains when you purchase a pendant. Because why not treat yourself to a little extra sparkle?
A Nod to Nostalgia
Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane, shall we? Lockets have been the darling of Victorian fashion, adored for their ability to hold precious mementoes. Enhanced with gemstones, enamel, engraving, and other decorative flair, these little beauties were the OG statement pieces. Now, you get to channel that timeless elegance with a piece that’s as functional as it is fabulous.
Sterling Silver TLC: Keep It Shining Bright
Pro tip: To keep your vintage-style locket looking as stunning as the day you got it, ensure it stays clean and dry when not in use. Moisture, dirt, oils, and pesky chemicals can tarnish its brilliance faster than you can say “sparkle.” After showing off your new bling, give it a gentle wash with warm water, dry it with a soft cloth, and store it in an airtight container with a piece of chalk or a silica pack. Simple, right?
Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
Now, let’s get real about shipping because, darling, waiting for your jewellery should be almost as enjoyable as wearing it.
UK Domestic Shipping: Quick, but Not Quite Instant Gratification
For my fabulous UK-based friends, your locket will typically waltz its way to you in about 5-7 business days. Not exactly instant like your morning coffee fix, but think of it as the perfect build-up to unboxing your new favourite accessory.
International Shipping: Embrace the Zen
For my international sparkle enthusiasts, you’ll need to channel your inner zen master. Shipping times can vary wildly from 5 to 30 business days thanks to the whims of customs. But hey, good things (and glittery ones) come to those who wait, right?
Out of Stock? No Panic, Just Patience
If you’ve set your heart on this locket and it’s out of stock, don’t panic! It’s available for order with a lead time of 4-10 weeks, depending on which of my brilliant suppliers is crafting your new favourite accessory. Drop me a line about your heart’s desire, and I’ll work my magic to make sure your locket finds its way to you.
