Lockets, one of the most personal items of jewelry, have been popular for centuries and have held everything from mementos of a loved one (hair, hand-painted pictures, photographs, etc.) to keepsakes and even poisons. Made of metal and worn on a chain (usually around the neck), lockets come in a variety of shapes and sizes - the most common being hearts or oval shapes. They were especially popular during the Victorian era.
