Announcement
Polarity Lockets™ are the original magnetic, interchangeable jewelry since 2007! I fabricate my lockets from a recycled steel auto part, each comes with multiple magnetic lids - and yes, just like the lockets of old, they hold a picture inside!
I am lucky enough to collaborate with the most amazing and talented artists on the planet for my locket artwork.

I believe that people have green hearts and green souls and even an occasional green thumb and want to buy green goods. We want to save the planet, hug a tree, recycle, ride a bicycle and we want to look awesome and amazing and make our friends green with envy while we do these things - and that's where I come in!
All locket designs are available in both regular and mini size necklaces and as rings, bracelets and earrings. Kid's jewelry includes breakaway chains. Contact me to set up something special just for you. I am super easy to work with.

NOTE - that I do NOT use the potentially dangerous neodymium magnets in my work, but caution should be exercised around very young children due to small parts. My jewelry is not recommended for children under four.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a very sweet little locket. I got it for an eight year old boy and the seller made some customized changes to suit his taste. It turned out perfect. I'm so excited to give it to him for Christmas.The shipping was also fast and communication was great.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the second order I have placed for these magnetic lockets, and Cat again did not disappoint! The caps are gorgeous, and since my first order a couple of years ago, Cat has made some small tweaks that make the lockets even better than they were before (e.g., the clasp is easier to open, especially for little kid hands, as these necklaces are for my two littles). My interactions with Cat were very helpful and thoroughly enjoyable. She gave suggestions as to what to get for my 4 year old, and patiently went back and forth messaging with me until this was just right. She also threw in a surprise custom cap that was a thrill to receive. Thank you so much, Cat! I look forward to returning to you for a THIRD order sometime in the near future!

the original magnetic jewelry since 2007
The Polarity Locket Story
I started collecting lockets when my favorite uncle gave me an Alice in Wonderland bracelet locket which I promptly lost in the schoolyard on the first day of 2nd grade.
(This left me crying and demanding a lockdown of the school grounds. My teacher refused to search my classmates' pockets and lunch bags - a situation I later blamed for my growing distrust of authority figures and inability to work a wrist strap.)
Many years later while wandering around my hubby's truck repair shop looking for a place to sit that wasn't covered in brake dust I spied a drawer full of used, blackened auto plugs that began to call my name.
Hubs said, "Cat, girls don't want to wear steel - girls want gold and silver and things that are shiny and new" and I said, " well ... maybe not all girls" ..
I began experimenting (when I realized my car parts were magnetic I almost had a coronary - luckily my dog Olive has been trained in CPR and is fast on her feet).
I took a welding class and after many hours of blood, sweat and tears - in a noisy garage at the Jersey Shore the Polarity Locket was born!
I now collaborate with the most amazing artists and photographers on the planet for my locket artwork and over 25,000 magnetic lockets have been attracting love and abundance for their owners - magnetic lockets are magical by the way! - since 2007 all handmade in the same Jersey garage by me (with a little help from Olive) and equal doses of love and propane.
