Lyrical Lockets by Erica Weiner

There's no need to peek at the screen the next time you’re doing karaoke — jewelry designer Erica Weiner has got you covered. Her latest creation, the Heartbeats Necklace, is a seemingly simple locket that's hand-stamped with quirky song lyrics, courtesy of Morrissey, Parton & Rogers, Fleetwood Mac, and, yes, R. Kelly (we hope that you recognized the above verse from “Ignition (Remix)”). These tongue-in-cheek 16” necklaces come in both oxidized silver and a bling-tastic 14-karat gold, which suggests that Weiner had more than one R&B inspiration.

If anyone has lyrics that should be etched on your heart, it’s R. Kelly. But Weiner has a back-up plan in case you don’t share her musical tastes. Her vintage seventies Sweetheart Necklace, which comes in a charmingly warped brass, can be customized with whatever words you like (T.I. lyrics, perhaps?). Available online and at her eponymous New York City store, we suggest you lock down these heart necklaces quickly — we think they'll fly off shelves.
