Lockets are a foundation of our Monica Rich Kosann fine jewelry collection. They were the first piece of jewelry we ever created, inspired by Monica’s history as a fine art portrait photographer. %expanded-mobile% She created heirloom images of families that could be in their homes for generations, so it was only fitting to create a collection of lockets that might hold small versions of these precious images. At the same time, Monica believed that lockets were ready to be reinvented for a new generation and set out to create a collection that was sexy, contemporary and modern. She had spent many years browsing through antique jewelry fairs and flea markets and took inspiration from the vintage sterling silver lockets she would often come across. Fittingly, silver lockets were among the first styles in our collection, and these were always created by us in sterling silver in order ensure we developed the finest quality pieces.%expanded-desktop%
From the beginning, all of our silver lockets were offered as sterling silver locket necklaces, with carefully chosen short or long chains as part of the styles. Our petite silver lockets are ideal when worn short, as everyday designs that can be worn alone or layered with other short jewelry styles you treasure. The lockets on our longer chains are wonderful as signature, statement pieces that can go with almost anything in your wardrobe. Because sterling silver is a softer metal, we use white gold wire in all of our hinges and clasps to add strength so the pieces can endure for generations. All of our silver styles are also finished with rhodium, a precious metal that allows them to maintain their brilliance and allows you to avoid the need to polish these designs. You can learn more about how to care for our silver lockets here as well.
Locket Necklace FAQs
Yes. Personalization is at the heart of every Monica Rich Kosann locket. Using our Locket Bar, you can easily upload and size your favorite photos from your phone or desktop to create a piece that captures your story. Many sterling silver lockets can also be engraved with initials, dates, or meaningful words, turning them into modern heirlooms.
We design sterling silver locket necklaces in a variety of chain lengths to suit every style and moment. Our petite silver lockets are often paired with shorter chains, perfect for daily wear or layering with other delicate pieces you treasure. Longer lockets create beautiful statement looks — effortlessly elegant, easy to style with any wardrobe. Each chain is chosen with intention, balancing proportion, comfort, and versatility. Whether worn high on the collarbone or long and dramatic, every locket length tells a slightly different version of your story.
There are no rules — only your story. Wear your sterling silver locket short for a subtle, everyday look, or choose a longer chain for a statement that anchors your favorite layers. Combine textures and tones — a silver locket beside a gold charm, or a diamond-accented piece layered with a classic chain — to create dimension and personal meaning. Each Monica Rich Kosann locket is designed to be lived in, loved, and styled however you feel most yourself. Because your jewelry should move with you, not simply adorn you.
Choosing between sterling silver and 18K gold is as personal as choosing your favorite photograph. Sterling silver offers a modern, cool-toned elegance whereas 18K gold lockets exude warmth and timeless richness. No matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong.
Absolutely. A Monica Rich Kosann locket is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. Inspired by Monica’s background as a fine art portrait photographer, every locket is designed to preserve memory in its most intimate form. Whether gifted for a milestone, a birthday, or “just because,” a silver or gold locket becomes a deeply personal token of connection.
Yes! Many Monica Rich Kosann lockets are thoughtfully designed to hold more than one photo, allowing you to keep more cherished memories close to your heart. Our Four Image Locket Collection is offered in both Sterling Silver and 18K Gold. These multi-image pieces have an even higher level of workmanship than our other lockets because of the complex design required to make it happen. Plus, our Locket Bar makes it easy to upload, resize, and print your images directly from your device.
