Why a gold locket?
A gold locket is usually a round or heart shaped pendant, however there are other shapes available. When you open a gold locket, you will normally see one or two photos inside it, though some have slightly larger spaces allowing you to store sentimental items such as a lock or hair.
Traditionally a gold locket was given to loved ones at a funeral during the Victorian Age, however as times have moved on lockets are now given for several reasons, and on most of the holidays, including Mothers day, Valentine’s Day or even Christmas. They even make perfect gifts for weddings, christenings, or even a best friend’s birthday.
The locket will normally contain a photo of the person who gave it, or if it holds two photos it will usually be the person who gave it and the person who it was given to. While a gold locket is a piece of jewellery in its own right, they are usually worn on a chain around your neck, or alternatively sometimes on a bracelet. While gold is the most common of the precious metals for a locket to be made out of, there is also a wide range available in other metals, ranging from silver plated, through to platinum and everything in between. While a gold locket may be the perfect gift for a wedding or valentine’s day, a silver locket may be more suitable for a daughter’s birthday or a christening.
Keepsake lockets, which are designed to hold something such as a lock or hair, or a babies first tooth will usually have a glass front, rather than a solid front. This is so that you do not need to keep opening the keepsake locket, which will stop it falling out and getting lost. In a standard gold locket, the photograph will normally be held in place with clear plastic or glass front inside the locket, so there is no need to worry about it becoming lost.
Despite lockets dating back to the Victorian age, they have evolved and become more and more popular over time. With many celebrities wearing lockets, and them being featured in more and more movies, this timeless piece of jewellery looks like it will be around for a long time to come yet.
Part of the reason for the popularity of the gold locket is that more and more families are becoming disconnected, with people emigrating to the other side of the world, or simply moving to the other side of the town. By wearing a gold locket with the loved ones photo in you can always keep them close to your heart and see them whenever you want. Another reason may be the secrecy; no one other than the wearer knows what the gold locket contains. Is it their first love? A lost love? A child? Whatever it contains, it is something close to their heart that they do not want to forget.
As well as being able to select the photo to go inside the locket, most jewellers offer an engraving service which will allow you to make that gold locket a truly personal piece of jewellery. The message can be engraved on the front, back or even on the inside of the gold locket!
So whether you are looking for that special gift, want to keep someone close to your heart, or just want an usual piece of jewellery, a gold locket is definitely the best way to go, and remember, it’s the thought that counts so you will need to put as much effort into selecting the photo for the locket as you have done for the actual gold locket.
