This beautifully designed planet necklace is a modern silver spherical ball locket, which opens up to reveal space for two tiny photos inside! The locket is surrounded with a finely detailed silver ring, and the chain is embellished with an optional star charm.

These vintage lockets have mellowed to a beautiful silver colour with tiny little age spots here and there. The diameter of this vintage ball locket is 19mm, and all have perfectly working hinges and clasps.

This Planet locket is available in a choice of different lengths. Please refer to my illustration in the final image for a better idea of how necklace lengths will look when worn.

This piece of handmade jewellery comes packaged in a nice recycled gift box with a handmade tag, all ready to give or keep.


*** PERSONALISATION ***

We can personalise this locket for you, using a carefully designed technique to transfer your photographs onto the metal of the pendant itself, for a really soft and unique vintage effect. Parts of your image will merge with the golden brass behind, creating a very beautiful, ununsual and ethereal look.


*** WHAT TO DO NEXT ***

After checkout, all you need to do is use Etsy Convos to attach and send your chosen images, in the best resolution you have, and we will take care of the rest! In terms of picture quality, most photos taken on smartphones will be perfectly fine! Please DO NOT send us any images until your order has been processed.

Please bear in mind that the photos will be trimmed to circle-shape to fit in this locket ... so some background space is useful! Please allow 3 days for preparation and dispatch of your locket.

Some Tips for Choosing a Good Photo:
- Your image will be made very tiny - smaller than your fingernail - so more than two people on each photo may not be ideal.
- Consider the shape of the locket, and how your photo might fit into that shape.
- Some background (not necessarily a lot!) is helpful - it might be difficult to work with a photo which is cropped very closely.
- Very pale, 'washed out' or overexposed images won't work very well.
- Please remember to send TWO images.

Please allow up to 3 days for your personalised locket to be made.
