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 starsThe necklace is perfect! I requested 1 magnet to have a velociraptor on it. I received 2 different magnets with velociraptors, the gift tin the necklace came in has a velociraptor on it and the gift box has a velociraptor! I am going to have one very happy grandson at Christmas! Thank you Cat for the prompt response to my email and creating the perfect gift!

5 out of 5 starsI highly recommend this shop!! The owner was SO sweet. She messaged me twice for the picture when I was busy and forgot (normal for me this time of year! Haha) and she sent an extra cover and picture. My sweet boy told us all he wanted for Christmas was a locket with our picture in it, and I can't wait to see his face Christmas morning! We will be return customers for sure!!

5 out of 5 starsEverything came as shown. My nephew loves it and he put a picture of him and his mom in it to help him get through school days (just started Kindergarten) when he really misses her. :) Thank you for bringing him some ease to his anxiety as he takes these next steps in his life!

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.
