tiffany=heart-locket-necklace A heart locket necklace is probably one of the most sentimental jewelry you could ever give to someone. My husband gave me my 3rd heart locket necklace last Christmas. It’s sentimental because you could put pictures inside it. May it be you and her, or the kids pictures. You can make it even more special by giving her a locket necklace with pictures already in it. She’ll be opening a gift within a gift.

I’m sure you’ve seen movies where a Mom gives her daughter her pearl necklace before she gets married as part of the something old, something blue and something borrowed routine. It’s THE necklace that is passed on from generation to generation.
