Shaker lockets & Vial Pendants

Any object or material small enough (8mmx8mmx2mm or smaller) can be enclosed in a shaker locket.

If you are looking for a pendant containing your own sentimental material, I would love to have your material sent to my studio to be made into a locket! These can commemorate any special moment, memory, person, or animal. I can work with nearly any solid or powdered material of your choice, and you can be as creative as you’d like. Material suggestions: Cremation ash, hair, small teeth, fibers from clothing or carpets, sand or soil from sentimental locations, dried flowers, seeds, coffee grounds, and almost anything else you can think of!

If you are looking to add an item like a squirrel tooth, ammonite, etc. from my studio in addition to your own sentimental items, please reach out before placing your locket order so I can make sure I have the item set aside for you. If you want a locket with only items from my studio (i.e. you aren’t mailing anything in), you can build and order your locket at this link.

If you do not have all of the materials you want yet (i.e. you would like to add a gemstone) you can also check that box on the order form. These items can be purchased from a site like Etsy and shipped directly to my studio. I’ll reply with my mailing info, you’ll place your order for your items through whoever you’d like, and just input my address at checkout. Make sure you know the measurement of the item(s) before you have the package sent. Any leftover material will be sent to you with your finished jewelry.

Material recommendations: I want you to end up with a piece you think is beautiful and will treasure forever. If you have both hair and ash, I recommend strongly that you get separate lockets for each material due to the way they cling together when mixed. Ash is suitable to use with hard/solid items like gemstones, etc. if you are looking for an alternative to mixing hair and ash.

PLEASE USE THIS FORM TO PLACE YOUR ORDER

I will reply with mailing instructions for your materials including how to measure the item, estimated turnaround times, and other pertinent information. If you have any questions please send a message through this contact form first and I’ll help you make a decision before you submit your final order.

When your locket is done, I will send a notification via email and you can add a chain or earrings before checking out. Payment is accepted via credit card or AfterPay and any leftover materials will be returned to you with your finished locket. Submitting this form constitutes placing an order, kindly please do not order anything you do not plan to pay for. Thank you so much!

When ordering a custom locket, you must mail your material(s) to my studio for your project to be completed. I do not sell empty lockets. Fine jewelry (any fine jewelry, not just my designs) should not be worn when bathing or during high-impact activities to ensure they do not get lost or damaged. Your locket will ship with care instructions and a super soft polishing cloth to keep it looking great for generations. Any unused materials will be returned to you with your finished project.

Payment is not due until your locket is completed, which takes up to 8 weeks depending on the materials being used, but I ask that you please be ready to pay for your order when you place it. I understand emergencies come up, so if we are halfway through the process and you find you may no longer be able to pay, please take a second to let me know so I can stop production until you are ready to resume.

Thank you and I can’t wait to work together!
