A floating locket is a clear, glass-front pendant that holds tiny charms or a small photo so they appear to “float” inside. On this page you’ll see round, oval, and heart styles in materials like stainless steel, sterling silver, and gold-tone finishes.

• How it closes: Many use magnetic or hinged closures, shown in the item description.
• What it holds: Flat mini charms, crystals, or a trimmed photo.
• How it differs from classic lockets: Traditional heart lockets usually hide 1–2 photos behind a cover, while floating lockets display contents through clear glass.

For best results, check the product page for closure type, size, and what’s included.

Charm size depends on your locket’s internal dimensions. Many memory lockets list sizes in millimeters (for example, 18mm, 23mm, or 28mm). Using that as a guide can help you choose charms that fit well.

1. Match the diameter: Select charms a bit smaller than the locket’s inner window.
2. Keep it slim: Low-profile charms generally sit flatter and close more easily.
3. Don’t overfill: A few pieces usually display better and help the locket close securely.
4. Shape matters: For heart or oval lockets, pick smaller charms to suit the curves.

Sizes vary by item, so review the measurements on each product page before you buy.

The method depends on the closure style noted in the listing.

1. Floating glass lockets (magnetic/hinged): Open gently, place clean, dry charms or a trimmed photo flat inside, then close until it sits flush. If it resists closing, remove one piece.
2. Classic photo heart lockets: Use the listed size (e.g., 13mm or 20mm as shown on some items) to trim your photo. Slide the picture into the frame area, and press it in place per the product instructions.

Handle the glass carefully, avoid force, and follow any guidance on the item page. Results can vary depending on design, so take your time with placement.

It varies by item on this page. Some listings include a full necklace, while others are pendant-only floating lockets for use with your own chain.

• Check the listing: Look for phrases like “necklace included” or “without chain,” plus the “What’s included” section.
• Match your chain: If you’re buying a pendant, choose a chain that fits the bail opening and complements the metal color.
• Length and weight: Lighter pendants pair well with finer chains; heavier lockets may feel better on a sturdier chain.

Review the product details to confirm what’s in the box before adding to cart.

You’ll find floating locket charms and pendants in materials like 304 stainless steel, sterling silver, and gold-tone or gold-plated finishes. Comfort can vary by person, so it helps to review material details on each product page.

• Stainless steel: Often chosen for everyday wear and durability.
• Sterling silver: A classic precious metal many customers prefer for skin sensitivity.
• Plated finishes: Offer a specific look; gentle care can help the finish last.

If sensitivities are a concern, consider pieces that list specific metal content and check customer reviews. Individual reactions differ, so choose what feels comfortable for you.
