Keep It Close Pre-Loved 9ct Yellow Gold Engraved Heart Locket & Chain Vintage 1978–85 Child
There is no gift in jewellery more personal than a locket. This pre-loved 9ct yellow gold heart locket is a beautifully dainty example — small, sweet and utterly romantic, the face engraved with a delicate floral motif that catches the light with a gentle, antique softness. It opens to reveal a blue fabric interior, ready to hold a photograph, a lock of hair, or whatever small, precious thing its next owner chooses to keep close to their heart.
The locket hangs on a fine curb link chain in matching 9ct yellow gold — the simplest and most classic of chain styles, allowing the locket to sit and move freely and take centre stage. At 40cm the chain sits at a neat collarbone length, the locket resting just below the throat in that quintessentially feminine, vintage way. Yes, this is real gold throughout — genuine 9ct yellow gold, the warm, durable standard for fine jewellery, with a 375 purity mark confirming 37.5% pure gold.
Dating to circa 1978–85, this locket carries the quiet charm of a piece that was made to mean something. Small in scale but enormous in sentiment, it is the kind of jewellery that becomes a treasure — worn every day, kept forever, passed on eventually. At 3.50g the total weight of pendant and chain combined gives a satisfying, solid quality for such a delicate piece.
Pre-loved and ready for a new chapter, this vintage 9ct gold heart locket is one of the most heartfelt gifts you can give — or receive. Beautifully gift wrapped and ready to make a memory.
