Locket Necklace Photo Memories

A locket is a kind of pendant on a necklace that opens in a way to allow its owner to place tiny things inside. Lockets are a special kind of jewelry that is personal to their owner. Whether it was received as a gift or picked for a collection, it always holds a special meaning.

Many of us are familiar with locket necklaces. However, very few of us know the rich history behind this piece of jewelry. You may be wondering how lockets came to become very popular throughout different centuries and civilizations. Lockets have evolved as centuries passed.

A locket can be the perfect gift for many occasions. It has so many variations and beautiful styles to select from depending on your taste in fashion. On some occasions and events, giving a locket can be the perfect gift.

A locket symbolizes something you want to keep and cherish forever, for example, a special memory. We give romantic and timeless lockets to people we love dearly. In them, we affix a message or their photo. Lockets are very old yet still trendy.

Sometimes, lockets contain color that represent private message. Couples can also wear lockets instead of the ring as a show of love and commitment. Placing a photo of a loved one with a romantic message can be a lovely gesture for couples.

There are many creative ways to personalize a locket necklace. Jewelry is generally a given as a symbol of love, friendship, or commitment. Lockets are more than just mere fashion items. They have a compartment where things of significant value can be preserved, for example:

Photograph

A photograph of a loved one is the most common item people keep in lockets. Whether it’s a photograph of a close friend, spouse, parents, or children, the photo has to be that of someone close to your heart. The ideal way to wear a locket on a necklace is with the pendant resting on your chest. It serves as a gentle reminder of the love you share.

Messages

Engraved messages or symbols are a lasting reminder of something unique, romantic, and profound. Some of the popular messages you can put in a locket include:

• Famous quotes
• Short poems
• Slogans
• Love messages
• Humor

However, you are free to customize your locket to your preference and according to how they make you feel.

1. Put Lotion on Before Your Jewelry

Lotion creates a barrier between skin and jewelry, and although it may coat part of the jewelry, prevents moisture from the skin from making contact with metal. Fragrance free, water based lotion with as few chemicals as possible applied in a thin layer where the necklace, bracelet, or earrings fall can help to act as a protective agent. This may also allow you to wear pieces of jewelry made from inexpensive blends of metal that may otherwise trigger an allergic reaction in the form of hives or skin irritation.

2. Avoid Bringing Jewelry Into the Bathroom

Moisture associated with showering, bathing, brushing teeth, and general washing leaves the air and surfaces like countertops full of water. This extra moisture can aid jewelry in tarnishing more quickly. Leave necklaces and bracelets in another room while you utilize the bathroom.

3. Remove Jewelry Before Swimming

Needless to say, swimming means getting jewelry wet, which makes it easier for rust to form. Beyond that, chemicals like chlorine and elements like salt found in various bodies of water like oceans and pools can aid the rusting process as well. These added chemicals and elements can mean a variety of adverse effects on jewelry pieces.

4. Apply a Sealant Spray

Most craft and hardware venues sell a variety of sealant sprays. Some are made with a base of silicone while others utilize a variety of alternative ingredients. Spraying your jewelry and giving the coat a chance to dry thoroughly creates a barrier between water, oxygen, and your piece. This will mean more time before rusting or tarnishing. It may even prevent the process altogether.

5. Use Clear Nail Polish

Costume jewelry like bangles, necklaces, and broaches may benefit from being painted with clear nail polish. Be prepared to reapply the substance periodically; it may flake off occasionally. However, the polish creates another type of barrier between skin, jewelry, and the environment. This process will also prevent costume jewelry from oxidizing enough to turn skin green.

6. Store Jewelry in Closed Containers

Keeping jewelry in closed boxes and containers can help to limit the amount of moisture and oxygen that makes contact with it. Typically, jewelry is only worn during the day and only for some number of days each year. This means that the amount of time spent stored is high relative to the amount of time that pieces spend out. Taking the time to invest in a closed container can greatly contribute to the life of your pieces by guarding against humidity.

7. Utilize Clear Bags

You might consider storing jewelry pieces in their own individual, sealable bags. Even if pieces are in a closed container, the extra layer of plastic can help to guard further against the air. Small, clear bags allow you to see easily inside in order to select necklaces, bracelets, and earrings without exposing them to humidity.

8. Use Gel Packs

Gel packs can be inserted into jewelry storage containers to absorb excess moisture that creeps in. These can be added to boxes or bags in order to add another layer of protection to the storage process. Often, these packs can be found in new shoe boxes or clothing packages and can be repurposed for jewelry instead of buying new packs.

9. Clean Jewelry

Different solutions, foams, and pastes are available for cleaning jewelry periodically. Solutions require dipping jewelry in a bowl filled with the mixture, while foams require scrubbing with a small brush, and pastes require hardening before being rinsed off. If you are unsure about how your necklace, pin, earrings, or bracelets will react to the cleaning agent, feel free to try it on a small area before completing the process. Keep track of products that work especially well for your jewelry so that they are easy to locate in the future.

10. Make Your Own Cleansers

Rather than buying cleaning agents off the shelf, there are lots of recipes for making your own. Baking soda, salt, and water can be combined in a variety of ratios to clean pieces without gemstones. After cleaning, dry your jewelry with a microfiber cloth rather than paper towels in order to avoid any scratches.

11. Avoid Contact with Other Products

Whenever possible, avoid getting makeup or hair products on your jewelry. Conditioners, shampoos, gels, mousses, and hairsprays often contain different chemicals that can cause the metals in different necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to react in different unwanted ways. Taking the time to apply any makeup or hair products before putting jewelry on is typically the easiest way to circumvent any issues.

Remembering these tips will help to prevent any jewelry pieces from tarnishing, whether they are made from sterling silver, gold, or a mix of lots of different metals. When in doubt, ask your local jeweler about the best way to care for your favorite pieces. Anything you are able to do in order to avoid moisture or oxygen will help to preserve your necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
