Description
Lockets have long been associated with royalty. In Ancient Egypt, over 2,000 years ago, Queen Cleopatra gifted lockets with her image inside, to her favoured courtiers. Queen Elizabeth I also did the same. Wearing the image of the monarch was a sign of great favour and also a statement of loyalty to the Crown.
