"It’s truly my most treasured jewellery piece I’ve ever owned. The craftsmanship, meaning, and energy it carries make it absolutely exceptional. I’m so grateful to have it."

THE STORY

A place to carry what matters most. It's a way to keep someone with you, even when they are not always beside you.

Lockets have long been worn as intimate vessels of memory. From early keepsakes carrying portraits and handwritten notes, to tokens of love worn close to the heart, they have always been deeply personal.

The Kin Locket continues this tradition, reimagined in solid gold, with a softened, worn form that feels as though it has been held by many hands through time.

Inside, it becomes whatever you need it to be. A photograph. A name. A moment. A feeling.

*golden twisted chain length is adjustable up to 45cm (16" + 2" extender).

Material & Craft

9ct Solid Gold. Real gold, every day.

9ct solid gold is the most hardwearing of the gold caratages. Its higher alloy content makes it exceptionally tough and well suited to pieces that live on the body around the clock. It's the practical choice that doesn't ask you to compromise on the real thing.

At 37.5% pure gold, 9ct has a slightly cooler, crisper tone than its higher-carat counterparts, particularly beautiful in white and rose. Like all solid gold, it will not fade, chip or wear away. A piece made to be worn without a second thought.

When you buy from Violet Gray, you're buying directly from the person who designed and made your piece. There's no factory, no middleman. Just a small Australian studio that takes its craft seriously.

If you have any questions about this piece — the gemstones, the process, whether it will suit you — Alex genuinely wants to hear from you.
