Case in point: I was doing a party one night and the hostess' niece came over. She was adorable, she also had bright purple and orange hair, full sleeve tattoos, piercings, and made it a point to say that she thought that the lockets were "cute, but not her style." Then, she sat down for a bit with her cousins to help them build a locket for their exchange student from Belgium.
In the locket, they included the following charms:
Airplane: Representing her journey to their home
Violin: She is a talented violinist
Sister heart: She called the girls her sisters
Bicycle: She loves riding her bike & The Tour de France
goes through her town in Belgium
Emerald: her birthstone
As they started looking at all the charms, the niece started getting excited about all of the charms that she loved: the yin-yang sign, which was also tattooed on her arm, the Buddha charm, which represented her beliefs, the blow dryer and scissor charms, because she was a hair stylist, and the turtle charm, to represent her beloved pet. She loved the finished product and it told her story.
If you are looking for an original gift for someone you love, make a locket that tells their story!
