Vintage-Inspired Designs

If you are into photo necklaces, chances are you like a bit of old-school charm in your style. And why shouldn’t you? With their antique finishes and intricate details, vintage-inspired jewelry captures a sense of nostalgia, allowing you to carry a piece of the past wherever you go.

Mighty Dainty’s collection features several traditional photo necklace designs, from the warm bronze hues of the Vintage Oval Photo Necklace to the delicate see-through style of the Vintage Medallion Photo Necklace. You can even add sepia-toned or black-and-white photos to further add to their appeal. Each piece is a reminder of why vintage never went — and never will — go out of style. 

Modern Aesthetics

If you are not a big fan of the classic photo necklace designs, no need to worry — modern styles are also very much in trend right now. These contemporary necklaces can range from minimalist designs and clean lines to chunky and bold pieces. 

Mighty Dainty also offers photo necklaces that have been reimagined in sleek, artistic new shapes. For instance, our Shell Locket Necklace adds some whimsy to your outfit without being too ‘out there’, while the bedazzled Rectangle Diamond Medallion Pendant Necklace always makes a statement. Whichever you pick, these lockets let your photos take center stage without any added embellishments. Plus, you can easily pair them with both casual and formal attire. 

Layered Photo Necklaces

There is no need to figure out how to stack necklaces now because our layered necklaces do the work for you. From the pearl chain of the Gold Ball Photo Locket Chain Necklace to the safety pin chain of the Triple Layer Heart Photo Necklace Set, the high-shine finish and varying textures of our layered photo necklace designs add a playful touch to the mix. This jewelry trend is all about mixing and matching different lengths and styles to create a truly personalized look that reflects your personality. They are also quite versatile — you can wear them from a casual brunch to a night out. 

Heart-Shaped Jewelry

Call it clichéd, but heart-shaped jewelry is classic for a reason. It has been popular for a long time, especially after King Edward VIII presented Wallis Simpson with a heart charm that opened to reveal the inscription ‘The Heart Has Its Reasons’ in the 20th century. This story is just one of the many reasons why the heart is considered a universal symbol of love. Heart-shaped photo necklace designs express more than just romantic love; they represent love in many forms, like friendship, familial love, and even self-love. 

Mighty Dainty offers heart-shaped baubles in many different designs, including the best-selling Photo Heart Necklace, the exquisite Angel Wings Heart Photo Necklace, and the more modern Heart-Shaped Diamond Medallion Pendant Necklace. Whether you get one for yourself or gift it to someone close to you, heart-shaped photo necklaces always add an extra layer of meaning.

Symbolic Photo Necklaces

Incorporating symbols in photo necklace designs is a beautiful way to express your beliefs and values while wearing your personal memories. They also deepen the connection between the pieces and the pictures inside.

For instance, our Virgin Mary Photo Necklace carries a sense of faith and protection, while the Religious Bible Locket Necklace is a reminder of spiritual guidance. The Hamsa Hand Round Locket Image Necklace is also a symbol of positive energy and blessings in many cultures. Each of these photo necklaces is a reminder of love, faith, and connection, making them meaningful keepsakes.
