This is just the sweetest little locket for a child. It's a dainty heart shape, decorated with a cute red and black ladybird. It's made from proper 925 sterling silver and then rhodium plated, so it's tarnish-resistant and hypoallergenic – perfect for sensitive skin. The locket actually opens up to hold two tiny photos inside (you'll need to cut them to size). It's small and lightweight (about 18.5mm tall, 3g), so it's not overwhelming for a little one. The bail (the loop for the chain) is a good size for a slim chain. A beautiful, meaningful first piece of jewellery for a daughter, granddaughter, or niece for a birthday, christening, or special occasion. It comes in a nice presentation box too. A timeless keepsake they can treasure.
