The Lily Blanche Solid 9ct Gold Oval Locket is an exceptional-quality fine-jewellery keepsake, crafted in solid 9 carat yellow gold. Its softly elongated oval shape opens to hold two treasured photographs or tiny keepsakes, keeping the people and moments you love close every day.
Choose our complimentary photo fitting service and our team will edit, print, cut and fit your photos with care. Add a personal engraving on the smooth reverse to create a solid gold oval photo locket that is wholly your own.
Classic Solid Gold Oval Photo Locket
This is the smooth, diamond-free edition of our solid gold oval locket. Its polished front lets the warm colour of solid 9 carat yellow gold take centre stage. It is not gold plated or gold vermeil, and carries a full UK hallmark from the Birmingham Assay Office, confirming its precious-metal quality.
Personalise with Two Photos and Engraving
This oval locket opens to hold two photographs. Select our complimentary personalisation service and our team will edit, print, cut and fit your chosen images in our Stirling studio. The smooth reverse can also be engraved with an initial, name, date or short meaningful message. For ideas, visit our personalisation page. Please note that engraved items are non-returnable.
Choose Your Solid Gold Chain
Wear the locket alone or select one of three solid 9 carat gold chain styles, each available in 18 inch (45 cm), 20 inch (51 cm), 22 inch (56 cm) and 24 inch (62 cm) lengths:
- Curb Chain: a classic polished link with a refined, everyday look.
- Rope Chain: a twisted design with light-catching texture and a little more presence.
- Belcher Chain: rounded links for a bolder, more substantial finish.
Each chain is solid 9 carat gold, creating a beautifully coordinated necklace from bail to clasp.
Oval Locket Details
The locket measures 16.2 mm wide and 27.6 mm high, including the bail, and weighs 2.85 g without a chain. Depending on your chosen solid 9 carat gold chain, the complete necklace weighs 5 g to 5.67 g. The locket holds two 19 mm x 13 mm photographs.
Gifting, Delivery and Care
Your locket arrives ready to give in a Lily Blanche ribbon-tied gift box, with a branded velvet storage pouch featuring Intercept® anti-tarnish technology.
