💎 The Meaning Behind Every Crystal in Our Lockets & Bracelets

Jewellery that holds your story. Energy that supports your soul.


✨ Why I Started Making Crystal Lockets

There’s a quiet kind of beauty in things that hold emotion.
I started Lovely Oxford not just to create jewellery — but to honour memories, carry meaning, and bring something peaceful into people's lives.

For me, crystals have always been more than pretty stones.
As a sensitive, emotional person, I used to find the world overwhelming. But holding crystals — tiny, natural pieces of Earth — gave me a feeling of calm, clarity, and connection I couldn’t explain.

When I started placing them into glass lockets, something clicked.
It wasn’t just beautiful — it felt intentional. Like I was building something both magical and grounding.

And that’s how this collection was born: one quiet piece at a time.
To help others feel held, seen, and supported — no matter where they are in their journey.


🌿 What Makes These Lockets Special?

Each glass locket and bracelet is handmade in Oxfordshire and filled with real healing crystals — chosen for their energetic properties and personal meaning. No two pieces are ever exactly the same.

You can wear them:

  • As a quiet daily reminder

  • For comfort during grief, change, or overwhelm

  • To feel more connected to your truth

  • As a meaningful gift for someone going through something deep

They’re fully customisable — and you can even request replacement crystals if your energy changes later (because life is always shifting).


💫 What Are Healing Crystals?

Crystals are natural minerals formed deep within the earth. For centuries, they’ve been used across cultures for emotional healing, protection, spiritual connection, and physical wellbeing.

When worn close to the body — especially near the heart in a locket — they’re believed to gently interact with your energy field, offering support where it's needed most.

Whether you believe in their energy, or just love the feeling they give you, one thing is true: they hold presence.
And presence is healing.
