Keep Memories Close: The Keepsake Birthstone & Gemstones Lockets

There’s something deeply satisfying about jewelry that does more than sparkle—it holds a story.

Avon’s Keepsake Birthstone Locket and Semi-Precious Keepsake Locket do exactly that: wearable memory-keepers that turn everyday style into something personal and meaningful. Whether you want to carry a photo of a loved one, commemorate a child’s birth month, or simply wear a gemstone that resonates with you, these lockets are small treasures that make a big emotional statement.

Lockets have been a timeless symbol of affection, remembrance and connection for generations. These modern takes blend classic locket charm with thoughtful options—birthstone color choices and semi-precious gems—so each piece feels intentionally yours. Below, we explore what makes each locket special, how to style them, and why they make such a heartfelt gift.

Keepsake Birthstone Locket: Personal, Sparkling, Sentimental

The Keepsake Birthstone Locket is designed to be both elegant and deeply personal. Set in a warm goldtone finish and centered with a star-set birthstone, the round locket features a magnetic closure and a classic chain. Inside, there’s space for a photo—your most-loved memory becomes wearable art.

Why it works:

Personalized detail: Choose the birthstone color that matches a special month—or several, if you collect lockets for family members.
Photo-ready: Insert a small photo to keep someone close at your heart.
Classic styling: Goldtone setting and a simple chain make it easy to layer with other necklaces or wear solo for a delicate look.
Secure & easy access: Magnetic closure keeps the image safe while making it simple to change photos.

Perfect for moms, grandparents, best friends—or anyone who loves meaningful jewelry—this locket turns a thoughtful accessory into a treasured heirloom.

Semi-Precious Keepsake Locket: Gemstone Elegance with Meaning

For those who prefer the natural beauty of stones, the Semi-Precious Keepsake Locket offers pendant-style charm adorned with your choice of Tiger’s Eye, Sodalite or Amethyst. Each gemstone carries its own character: warm, grounding Tiger’s Eye; deep, contemplative Sodalite; or regal, calming Amethyst—so you can pick a piece that reflects personality, intention or aesthetic.

What to love:

Gemstone variety: Choose a stone that complements your wardrobe or personal meaning.
A polished statement: These lockets read slightly bolder than tiny photo lockets, making them perfect for days when you want a single-signature piece.
Versatile wear: Pair with casual tees or a dressy blouse—stone lockets add texture and color to every outfit.

Styling Tips: Make It Yours

Layer it up: Wear the locket as the focal mid-length piece with a shorter choker or pendant and a longer chain for a curated, modern look.
Mix metals intentionally: The goldtone birthstone locket plays beautifully against warm metals—add a few gold bangles or rings for cohesion. For semi-precious pieces, match the stone tone to your outfit’s palette (deep jewel tones with amethyst, neutrals with tiger’s eye).
Day-to-night wear: Keep it simple at the office—one locket and stud earrings. For evenings, add coordinating gemstone studs or a delicate bracelet to amplify the sentiment.
Photo tips: Use a small, close-cropped image (headshot or tiny candid) for the Keepsake Birthstone Locket so the photo reads clearly at locket scale.

Gift Ideas: Give Something They’ll Keep Forever

Lockets make thoughtful gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day, anniversaries, graduations—or “just because.” Consider:

Personalized gift: Insert a photo before gifting to create a surprise keepsake.
New mom: Gift the birthstone locket with a tiny newborn photo—an instant cherished memento.
Friendship or long-distance family: Send a semi-precious locket with a note about why you chose the particular gemstone.
Heirloom-starting present: Choose a quality chain and include a small printed photograph and a handwritten note to make the moment unforgettable.

Care & Keeping: How to Make It Last

Store gently: Keep lockets in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches.
Avoid moisture: Take off lockets for showering, swimming or heavy exercise to preserve the metal finish and stones.
Clean carefully: Wipe goldtone and gemstones with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate stones or glued settings.
Swap photos safely: Open magnetic closure gently and use tweezers or a soft cloth to place and position small photos without bending.

Tiny Piece, Big Meaning

A locket is more than jewelry; it’s a small, wearable chapter of your story. Whether you choose the Keepsake Birthstone Locket with its customizable sparkle and photo slot, or the Semi-Precious Keepsake Locket with its natural gemstone presence, you’re investing in a piece that holds emotional weight and everyday elegance. Wear it close, pass it on, and let a tiny pendant carry your biggest memories.
