Lock It Up With a Locket

I remember getting a locket as a gift when I was in elementary school. I put a picture of myself in it; I suppose I was a narcissistic child. No matter, I thought the locket was an amazingly fun gift and how cool it is to have a piece of jewelry with something hidden inside.

Lockets are a fun gift for a friend's birthday; just put a picture of the two of you in there for her. A locket would also be sweet gift for a bride with her new husband's photo inside. If you are a bride, a locket would be a wonderful bridal party gift for your bridesmaids.

Locket necklaces are a style of a long pendant necklace. That makes this necklace super versatile and can be worn with anything, whether it is a casual tank top or little black dress. This fall, try wearing an oversized sweater, skinny jeans, a locket and other whimsical jewelry.
