Tiny vintage heart locket necklace from the 1970s, made of polished brass and decorated with raised floral designs typical of mid-century jewelry. Each flower is embellished with an original Swarovski crystal in your choice of olive green, light blue, or yellow (Swarovski Elements).
Beyond wearing them with or without a photo or content in them, lockets have a deeply sentimental meaning: originally designed to hold a small secret or memory close to your heart, feels like carrying a piece of personal history and emotion, wearing a symbol of affection, nostalgia, and connection.
Some pieces have a natural patina acquired over time, highlighting their authenticity and giving them a warm, aged glow. The pendants hang from a fine brass chain, available in 40 cm or 50 cm lengths.
📏 Heart locket size: 14 mm × 16 mm (≈ 0.55″ × 0.63″)
✨ Material: brass with Swarovski crystal
🕊️ Origin: authentic New Old Stock vintage components
A lovely nostalgic piece — perfect as a small, meaningful gift or a timeless vintage treasure to wear every day.
Why it makes such a special gift:
Because it’s not a mass-produced piece. It’s something found, rescued and given new life. No two are alike, making each locket a unique, sentimental gift—an intimate way to say: “Here’s something with history, so you can write yours.”
Decorative, symbolic, and quietly magical.
Condition & care:
— You can choose it varnished (to prevent the brass from darkening) or unvarnished if you prefer the natural patina of raw metal. Cleaning is simple: just wipe with a cloth lightly dampened with vinegar, rinse, and done.
– I select and only ship the ones in best condition and also expect them to have patina or a few tiny spots as shown in pictures, since this is the natural evolution on brass over time.
– They can be easily cleaned by rubbing them with a cloth dampened in vinegar and then rinsing them well with water. This will restore clarity and shine, and of course, will remove any patina in them, so have this in mind if you like the vintage look most.
– Please keep it on a dry place.
