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 starsThis is my second order, as the “girlier” locket I originally ordered my 4yo daughter was not nearly as cool as the dino locket from this shop I ordered for her twin brother! She was so excited to open it this morning! The shop owner was also able to use the same pic as my son’s had & shipped it out very quickly! (“Daniel the Tiger” has an episode that suggests lockets for kids with separation anxiety when going to school or daycare, 10/10 recommend!)

5 out of 5 starsBought this for my son, who wanted a locket but something that would fit his personality. I'm thrilled to support an artist using recycled materials, and it's absolutely beautiful!

5 out of 5 starsI ordered two necklaces, one for each of my children. My 8 year old asked for a locket with a picture of me for days he is having trouble at school. I cried when I opened them and saw the care that was taken to make these special for my boys. I cannot wait to see their faces when they get home and see them! Thank you for the perfect item!!

5 out of 5 starsI am in literal tears !!! This is the sweetest thing I have ever received !! The seller went above and beyond. I bought this as a gift for my two year old while he’s over with my ex husband on the weekends and I was scared about having a necklace so she made me a key chain with the images I wanted !!! She even went as far as putting in an extra magnet of our picture !! If I could leave 100 star review I would. She was fast, efficient and the packaging is astonishing !!!

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second purchase from Polarity. I bought a necklace for my cousin about three years ago. He just lost his necklace recently, so I bought him the exact one to replace it. Quality is amazing, the item is perfect, and I would absolutely purchase again for either more charms, or to replace again if needed!

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!

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.
