5 out of 5 starsThis turned out perfect! My son loves wearing it. I messaged to see if she could do custom photos - and she was fully on board! Very helpful and shipped out really quick.

5 out of 5 starsI’m so excited I found this product. I believe Cat is the only person who makes a locket necklace for boys. I ordered the dinosaur locket for my 5 year old son. The necklace is amazing. Cat is wonderful to work with. I’ve also placed an order for my MIL and have two more orders to put in for my 7 year old and my mom. Thank you, Cat!!

5 out of 5 starsI’m so, so touched by these beautiful lockets and the incredible lengths Cat went to in order to ensure that they are just right for us to remember our beautiful bunny Ardie with. We’d had the illustration on our living room wall for years as it’s just like Ardie, and wearing what looks like an Aston Villa scarf, so it was already meant to be. But Cat went to the trouble of making extra magnets for us and ensuring the size was spot on. And I can’t believe how beautifully packaged they are. We each have an Ardie box and tin to keep our lockets or other trinkets in. I’m over the moon with my purchase which I didn’t even have to pay import duty on in the UK - something that always makes me nervous when ordering from the States.
Thank you Cat for your incredibly personal and sensitive service, and for getting them to us so soon x -

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.
