I have always had a love for lockets. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of owning one. When I was about 15, I was inducted in the National Honor Society at my school. I was convinced that I was not going to be chosen because my parents were packing up to leave for a conference out of town. I just knew that they would have been there for me that day if my name was going to be called. So I left for school that day without any inkling of what was going to take place at the end of my school day. At the ceremony, I sat melancholy waiting for it to be over. As they started describing another inductee, I started thinking “Wow. That sounds a lot like me. I wonder who it is?” I was oblivious to the fact that it very well could be me. When they finished their speech and called my name, I was in complete shock. When I saw my parents come around the corner with a bouquet of roses and a small box, I lost it and started crying. After the ceremony was over, there was a small reception in the commons for the new members and their parents. First, I demanded to know why my parents said they had a meeting when they clearly did not. Well, they let me know that they did, indeed, have a meeting they were supposed to be at that very moment, but chose to be there for my big moment instead. I started crying all over again at hearing those words. Then my mom told me to open the box. Inside was a beautiful silver locket. I will never forget that amazing day.
Now I have a daughter of my own and she has been asking for a locket for over a year now. She recently found a broken one on a garage sale that she wanted. So we brought it home and she proceeded to take an old photo of me and cut it down for inside. She was so proud when she showed me and said that she just needed one of dad now. All the memories of my dreams of having a locket returned and when I learned about Picturesongold.com, I was thrilled to partner with them.
I headed over to PicturesOnGold.com to design my own locket. I couldn’t believe how easy the process was. I started by choosing what shape locket I wanted. The next step was deciding what to put on the front. There options are: plain, clipart, text, or monogram. Next is the inside left. Again, the options consist of nothing, text, monogram, or photo. After securing those choices, the same is offered for the inside right. Then, the back/reverse side options of nothing, text, or monogram are finalized. You are then able to see what your product looks like! Once you preview and accept the design you created, the final step is deciding if you would like to add a chain and, if so, which one. PicturesOnGold.com made this the easiest customized product I’ve ever ordered. There were so many choices, including 1,000’s of fonts, and options to make my locket perfect.
The end result was even better than I had ever hoped or dreamed. The silver locket is gorgeous. Each detail is perfect and I know that our daughter will have this locket for years to come. I had a hard time capturing photos because the locket is so brilliant and the photos do not do it justice. This is by far, the nicest locket I have ever seen. I can’t wait to see our daughter’s face on Christmas morning.
