Locket collars are imbued with a special, heirloom-like quality, it's is why they remain a timeless gift that still feels a bit more personal than a typical piece of jewelry. Like a book, the medallions can open and tell a story. But for beauty lovers, it's even better when it opens to reveal a mini makeup product, like lipstick.

That's what makeup artist Jillian Dempsey (Patrick Dempsey's wife) thought when she created the with her eponymous cosmetics brand. The innovative accessory - which is part beauty product, part jewelry - accommodates different shades of a sheer lip tint inside the argyle-patterned locket. It's been a Hollywood favorite since its 2021 debut, with Kristen Stewart being one of the main accidental Lip Locket ambassadors. Throughout 2021, Stewart was rarely seen without her "Punk Lock," the nickname for the necklace Dempsey designed for the actor that year. Today, the brand offers four versions of the Lip Locket necklace inspired by that initial design, each with a chunky chain and a square pendant with an X-shaped pattern.

Of course the best part of the Lip Locket is its functionality. The lip tint packaged inside the pendant comes in four different shades you can choose from when you purchase (and refill when you hit a pan), and is loaded with moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and l avocado oil.

The price of each necklace is high, ranging from $485 to $945 depending on metal and length , but they are worth every penny. It's the type of luxury product that feels like too much of a splurge to buy for yourself, but makes for a unique and unforgettable gift any time of the year.
