Teardrop Shaped Photo Locket by Mon Bijoux

Teardrop Shape Ashes Locket UK

Our collection of sterling silver keepsake photo lockets are made from antique glass and set in sterling silver. They are available in the following shapes: heart, square, rectangular, circle (round), oval, decorative oval, teardrop, and hexagon. They are a great keepsake for a special memory and can house a photo or picture, flower, ashes or hair. They can be plated in gold / gold vermeil on top of the solid sterling silver to create a gold coloured locket necklace. Many customers wear them with nothing inside as a fun pendant necklace while others prefer to keep their memories close to their hearts and will enclose something sentimental inside. They are an alternative take on the traditional sterling silver locket necklace and can sometimes be referred to as an antique locket, antique French locket, lockets of ashes, ashes urn locket necklace
or ashes to glass lockets.

This pendant pairs well with one of our belcher or snake chains. Alternatively, see our shop for other chain choices.

Hallmarking Policy:

By UK law any silver items i.e. Sterling silver, fine silver etc that weighs over 7.78 grams MUST be hallmarked. We are registered with the Assay Office in London, England and every piece of our jewellery over 7.78 grams has our 'sponsor' mark as well as the Assay Office mark and a mark to confirm the silver content - 925 for sterling and 999 for fine silver. This gives reassurance that what you are buying is indeed genuine silver. If you are purchasing something under 7.78 grams we can arrange hallmarking at your request but please note this will incur extra cost & will take longer to process.

Letter from British Hallmarking Council:

We are often asked, 'what is the best way to keep silver from tarnishing' or for info on the best way 'to keep silver shiny'. The answer is simple, you either (1) wear it, (2) store it in a ziplock bag or (3) polish it. In no specific order, polishing your jewellery is an obvious one. There is nothing that I can think of that doesn't get dirty, and jewellery is no exception. So from time to time, it's going to need a clean (take a look at our polishing cloths for a great way to clean silver, gold and platinum).
