5 out of 5 starsI'd give it 10 starts if I could. This is such a creative item and the quality is superb. I purchased this for my 9 year old grandson who is moving out of state. I wanted a "boy" locket that he could wear to school and that I could put a pix of he and I together. This came with 3 magnetic covers and an extra. Boxed beautifully. So professional. Such a great price. The item is a bit smaller than I thought, so my picture application will be a bit of a challenge for me. But, the size is appropriate for him. My only regret is that I saw the shark set after I purchased this one. He's a shark expert so he might have loved that one. But, this one is pretty cool too!

5 out of 5 starsLocket was beautiful, from the package to the product itself. My son was IN LOVE the moment he saw our family picture and all the different dinosaur lids! He’s had a hard time transitioning to Pre-K and I hope this will give him some comfort throughout the day!

5 out of 5 starsCan I just gush for a second?! My twins are very nervous about Kindergarten (also SO EXCITED!) and I was looking for something to help ease their nerves a bit.
These lockets are SO. STINKING. CUTE. She put our family pic inside (so they can always see us if they're nervous or scared!).
She even threw in 2 extra lids for each, one of which was our picture! Plus cute tins to keep all the extras, and SUCH adorable gift packaging.
And when I contacted Cat and explained the date we needed, she had these in the mail in under 24hrs so they could have them for the first day of school. I am very pleased with these and we've had quite a few friends order in the past 24hrs since I shared them on FB. -

5 out of 5 starsMy kids love these lockets! The first set of lids that were sent out were defective and the seller was so kind about sending out a replacement! She even sent each kid 3 extra lids! I will definitely buy from this shop again!

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.
