14k Gold Filled
Ease of care: 4/5

The solid gold look without the solid gold price. Our gold fill pieces feature a heavy layer of 14k gold that’s been heat- and pressure-bonded to a jeweler’s brass core. Similar to our gold plating, but with even more durability thanks to the bonding process.

Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver
Ease of care: 4/5

Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!

FAQS

All you need to know about the Oval Locket Necklace.

Find answers to our most-asked questions here, from care tips to jewelry options and more.

What are the options for personalizing the Oval Locket Necklace?

You can personalize the Oval Locket Necklace with a custom initial or choose from 10+ illustrative stamps.

Can you add my photo to this locket for me?

We don't insert photos, but we have a template to make it easier for you to do at home!

Is this locket waterproof?

The materials are waterproof, yes, but the locket itself isn't watertight. Always remove your locket before showering or swimming if you have a photo inside.

How do I properly care for my oval locket necklace to ensure its longevity?

We always recommend storing your locket in an airtight container (to prevent oxidation, specially on sterling silver), polishing once per month to remove any tarnish and keeping your piece away from harsh cleansers and chlorine. For more detailed care tips, check out our journal!

What type of chain is included with this oval necklace?

Choose either our minimal cable chain (for a daintier look) or our round box chain (for a slightly bolder look). Both are classic staples that’ll stand the test of time.

How are your oval lockets packaged?

Every GLDN piece comes wrapped in our signature gift-ready box with a polishing cloth, care card, handwritten note and letterpress goodies inside.

Should I choose a silver or gold locket necklace?

It really depends on your personal style. Both 14k gold fill and sterling silver are timeless, long-lasting metals that are easy to care for and made to wear 24/7. For more information on our metals, check out our jewelry metal guide.

How should I style a gold oval locket necklace?

We love layering lockets with chunky chains (like our Faun Chain or Bold Paperclip Chain) or styled solo for a simple, timeless look.

Can I choose a Flora design or other symbol, instead of an initial?

We only offer dainty initial stamps on this piece, due to the curved surface of the locket.

How do I care for this piece of jewelry?

Since it depends on which metal you chose, see our care tips blog and help center for detailed instructions on how to care for specific metals and gemstones. (Spoiler: all of our pieces require very minimal upkeep and occasional polishing, and can basically be worn 24/7 if you keep them away from harsh cleansers, chlorine and chemicals.)

What are the shipping options for this piece?

It varies based on where you are in the world, and whether the piece is marked made-to-order or ready-to-ship. See our shipping page for specific arrival times.

Can I return this piece? What’s the return policy?

Yes! We have a full happiness guarantee for every piece, even personalized ones See our Return Policies for full info on returns, repairs and exchanges.

    Love it, but the locket metal isn't lasting

    I received this as a gift and wore it about 10 times at home on maternity leave (no lotions or perfumes) and the back looked scratched and tarnished. The company was great and swapped it out with a new one but the damage has happened again after only a handful of wares. It's sad because it's beautiful.

    Beware of personalization

    The locket itself is fine, although I was hoping for actual opening frames inside to secure the photos. I am disappointed by an uncentered personalization that just throws it off.

    Oval Locket Necklace 14k Gold Fill / Minimal / 20-22″
    Rated 1 out of 5 stars
    Poor Quality

    Originally purchased in November as a gift for my significant other, by February we noticed tarnishing on the locket by the clasps and hinge (with proper care!). A replacement was initiated, and it came discolored, even the polishing cloth provided in the packaging did nothing to help remove any of the discoloration. Will not be purchasing from this company again.

    Such a cute locket!!

    I bought this locket as a gift for my mom. I have not yet given it to her. I was placing the small image inside the locket and I love it!! I love thoughtful and super personal gift. I’m a gift giver so this was just right for the occasion. I wish the imagine would have been placed in the locket for me. Luckily, I was able to find a tutorial on how to resize an image. Everything went well but wow was it small and tedious to do.
