My, what big teeth you have.





This is one of the most unusual lockets I've ever had. I just received it today and I've been staring at it on and off for the past hour. It's of a wolf, and a girl - who strangely enough looks happy next to the terrifying wolf. Then I thought - perhaps it's Little Red Riding Hood?

I've seen a few Little Jack Horners, and a couple of Little Miss Muffets in lockets - so it's possible. And the way she's grasping at her chest looking perhaps more shocked than happy, kind of adds up to "my what big teeth you have!". And it does look like she's wearing some type of a hood. Whatever it is, it's awesome!

Dragon Addition

The newest dragon.



Are they dragons or griffins? I'm not really sure. But I think they're fascinating either way! The new one is in the center, with the awesome pink wing.

Lovely Lady

Lovely Lady.



I have about 3 or 4 Art Nouveau Lady lockets now (it's getting sad I can't remember without looking through all of my lockets) and I'm hoping this will be my last one. But I can't promise myself anything, as it is an addiction.

Creepy Creatures

Fire Breathing Winged Dragon Locket 

Art Nouveau Dragon Locket


I'm currently on a "creature" locket search - I've found two dragon ones that I love. I love creature lockets in general like my two lion lockets and I recently added a deer locket. But these two are just plain weird, but really awesome at the same time.

Fraternal Locket Twins

Joined together again.





I just purchased this locket from a lovely lady I read about in one of my jewelry books. It is a very large locket, measuring over 2" long without the bail on the top! The gold has the most beautiful silky matte texture and appearance.


I've had the locket on the left for a little over a year now. It's the exact same size as the design in the other - but the new one has the plain gold around it. Very interesting.


To give give you an idea of the size I threw a quarter next to the "smaller" locket.
