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.
Combine shipping with my other shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/uncorked/
All Polarity ™ jewelry including the changeable magnetic top is © 2007-2021 Olive Bites Studio. The images used on the lockets are copyright by the copyright holders and used here with permission.
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 starsI was overly impressed with my interaction with this shop and it's owner. She was so accommodating and generous and totally got what I was trying to accomplish with this special gift. She even came up with an idea to make it extra special and customized it for us to make it more personal. I loved that. On top of that she shipped my order the next day and got it here so fast! I was so happy when I opened it as the packaging was adorable and overall presentation was so much more than I expected. No need for wrapping with these cute boxes and tins. Overall this shop went OVER AND BEYOND my expectations and I couldn't be happier

5 out of 5 starsThis arrived so quickly! And with multiple magnetic pendants, including one with the pic we provided (which is also on the inside piece)! I can’t wait to give it to my 4yo as he enters K4!

5 out of 5 starsCannot say enough about how great these necklaces are. They have immensely helped both of my sons start kindergarten when they were missing mom.

5 out of 5 starsThis locket was perfect for my son, whose separation anxiety from mom has made the first few weeks of kindergarten tough. There’s a mom picture hidden inside and a Thanos picture outside so he feels good about everyone seeing it. I was so super appreciative of the seller finding pics of my sons favorite characters, and then she also sent me a longer chain when I asked. The easy on/off clasp is so good for a 5 year old, too. Fabulous customer service with so much care and support, and each item arrived eerily fast in the mail. Couldn’t recommend more! Oh, and my son walks into kindergarten now without me. Thank you!!!!

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.
