lockets

Hinged keepsake necklaces

Lockets are small ornamental cases, typically worn on a chain around the neck, that open to reveal a photograph or memento inside.

The traditional locket holds a picture of a loved one—a child, a spouse, a deceased relative—close to the heart: She wore a gold locket with her mother's picture.

The singular is locket.
