Platinum Lockets

Heart Lockets For Christmas

2008-12-19T05:36:00.000-08:00

Hearts symbolize love. A locket is a gift of love.

One great way to celebrate christmas with your other half is to go on a romantic date. When you pick her up, give her a precious heart shaped locket. Open it up to reveal a personal gift or photo hidden inside the locket.

Then gently fasten it around her neck for her.

That's just like a scene right out of a romance movie.

Heart lockets need not be expensive.

You can get a gorgeous gold heart locket set with crystals for as low as $19.90 (originally $64)

Lockets For Christmas - Christmas gift ideas for your loved ones

2008-12-13T05:47:00.001-08:00

Lockets, platinum or not, make excellent Christmas gifts for your loved ones. These are sentimental gifts that can hold a treasured photo in it.

Originally, lockets would hold a lock of hair of one's sweetheart, to remember by when far apart.

Now, lockets can hold photos. A photo of mom, held by her child. A family photo worn by mom and dad.

Here's where you can get lockets on sale

Victorian necklaces

2008-11-18T04:00:00.000-08:00

Imagine the beauty of a lady in the Victorian times, at a ball. Something Cinderella might wear.

A princess at a ball, adorned with glorious diamonds around her neck.

Imagine turning heads when you walk into a room. The oohs and aahs and envious glances of the women around you as the necklace you wear makes you simply stunning.

Brand new, though its design is like that of an antique. As if someone hopped into a time machine and snagged that necklace, to sell it in this century.

How much do you think that will cost?

If it were made of diamonds and platinum, it would be beyond the reach of anyone who is not of royal blood.
But in spite of its looks, it is kind of affordable, on the pricey side, no doubt, but something attainable it you save up for it.

Elaborate necklaces

2008-07-27T01:00:00.000-07:00

I don't really what you call these things. Hankerchief necklaces since they are triangular and go round the neck like a fabric of diamonds, like the kerchief cowboys wore around their necks in the old movies?

Whatever you call them, I love them. They are stunning.

This is a Fred Leighton Inspired Sterling Silver Diamond CZ Bridal Icicle Pendant Necklace which though doesn't cost anywhere near the price of a necklace like this made of diamonds, it doesn't exactly come cheap either.
Then again, it would look stunning when you really want to dress up. It turns a simple black dress into something totally oscar-worthy.

I think I'm already drooling over it.

Oh yeah. This is supposed to be a blog about platinum lockets. You'll find plenty of older posts about platinum, silver and white lockets in the archives. I'll change the look and feel so you can access the platinum locket posts directly on every page later.

From now on, I want to go beyond lockets and pendants and talk about image changing necklaces.

The other day, I saw a Chanel ad with a model wearing nothing on top except what looked like an elaborate necklace, worn like a halter top of jewels. A myriad of jewlled crosses cascaded to form a backless top of jewelry which reached down to her waist. Now that is my dream necklace.

I love jewels. Always have, always will.

As a student, I'd get over boredom by making jewelry in my hostel room. I'd end up with a bag of jewelry which I'd sell for the fun of it, to other students in campus. Then I'd use the proceeds to buy more materials to make jewelry with. To me, jewelry is a passion.

Necklaces, for one, can transform your entire look. A frumpy dress can turn stunning with the addition of just one necklace, but that has to be a really gorgeous necklace to cause a turn around like that.

The necklace I showed at the start of the post is one such accessory. It makes a strapless dress look like a halter top. That is also the type of necklace to wear when you want to turn heads.

By the way, if you are big or tall, the jewelry you wear should be chunky also so that they would not get lost on you. You can take the really stunning pieces.

Here's another beauty.

Inspired by Juicy Couture Biwa Coin Pearls 18K Gold Filled Necklace
Totally red-carpet-worthy. Looks great with a little black dress too.

I find this necklace charming

Inspired by Tiffany Sterling Silver Flower Necklace
Great for a date too. What do you think?

The Perfect Everyday Necklace.

2008-07-26T21:58:00.000-07:00

What can you wear with your evening gown, on a date, when you go shopping, when you go to work, when you go out on errands or even to bed?

My vote goes to a simple pendant on a chain. The simpler the better.

In the olden days before photos were inveneted, people would wear lockets containing a lock of hair of their loved one close to the heart, to remember that loved one by. Later, those separated from their loved ones might wear lockets with photos of their loved ones in it to keep the cherished close to them in thoughts.

For sentimental reasons, I'd say a locket.

For vanity, or just to look great at all times, I'd suggest a solitary diamond, worn at the base of your neck against your skin because it somehow makes you look radiant. It is very classy, subtle and makes you look more beautiful.
Have this
Radiant Diamond set in a pendant on a chain and you have the perfect necklace you can wear at all times.

Floral white gold lockets

2008-03-14T19:46:00.000-07:00

I found some new lockets that are gorgeous and yet affordable.

Platinum is expensive and white gold looks a lot like platinum, is still precious but more affordable.

With that in mind, white gold lockets sound like a better buy. What with the economy the way it is, the idea is to get the look we want at a fraction of the expected price.

What do you think of these lockets?

10 Karat White Gold Oval Floral Locket
Silver might look similar but white gold wouldn't tarnish. I like the blue within the locket. The colors go very well on someone with cool skin tones. It would go perfectly with a navy suit.
The flowers engraved on it, the intricate design, makes it all prettier.

Compare it with this

Oval 10 Karat White Gold Floral Locket
The colored flowers are a refreshing change from most jewelry. Not gemstones but more like enamel. I'd imagine a talented artist painting it on.

Which do you prefer?

personalized lockets

2007-12-20T02:05:00.000-08:00

I came across this beauty while searching for suitable wedding anniversary gifts.

Personalized gifts, engraved with the name of the recipient mean so much more than something that's picked up along the way as an afterthought. Okay, you could have spent days planning and hunting down that perfect gift but somehow, a message you dictated to be engraved for that someone, with that person's name written on the gift itself shows so much more care.

Lockets are gifts close to the heart. Especially photo lockets like this personalized locket

which costs $32.95

Then if you use this coupon, 15% off personalized gifts at PersonalizationMall.com! Enter coupon code PM3201 at checkout. you'd end up paying around $28 for it.

Now this locket can hold 2 photos of someone she cherishes. You can have an initial engraved on it too to personalize this photo locket. It is better than a silver locket which would tarnish with time. This locket is rhodium-plated brass, which means, it keeps that silver finish without ever tarnishing.

Christmas is a time to give gifts for the women in your life - mom, sister, daughter.. to those close to your heart.

Without further ado, I would like to present to you these lovely heart lockets.

Lockets are personal gifts to be treasured.

Before there were photographs, one might keep a lock of hair of a sweetheart, or a loved one in the locket, to remember the person by. With the invention of photography, photographs may be kept in lockets to remember someone dear by.

You could go for a very expensive diamond studded platinum locket, or you could get a very affordable silver locket necklace like this one.

Lockets are great in that they can hold a keepsake but some outfits look better with a pendant that is flatter -- less bulky. Design wise, these Pendants offer more variety than the usual locket.

While platinum lockets are precious, a platinum pendant can be even more so. Especially if it holds a valuable diamond.

Platinum Bezel Set Diamond Solitaire Pendant (H-I/SI, 1/5 ct. tw.)

Platinum is the purest metal used in jewelry. If you hate the way silver tarnishes. If even the finest white gold gives you a rash because of the trace content of nickel. Then get platinum.

This platinum necklace can be worn all the time, even to sleep and it goes with everything. From lingerie, to your evening gown to your jeans and sweater.

A platinum business

2007-08-23T01:32:00.000-07:00

Platinum is more precious than gold. If you want to start a platinum business online, whether selling platinum jewelry or getting people to sign up for platinum credit cards, here's a good domain to use.

buy-platinum.com

Read as Buy Platinum, and a dot com domain name (.com beats the other domains flat as these are the originals. You'd do better if you have your website on a .com than on a new .biz or .whatever-else-they-might-come-up-with-but-surfers-wouldn't-think-of-typing-in.

Good luck with your online business that's going platinum!
