Note it has two little light-blue shiny textured papers that lock into the picture area, as well as two plastic covers for pictures.

I unfortunately lost one of the plastic covers while putting in the pictures and so forth. It would be awesome if they came with an extra paper & plastic covering.

In order to get locket-sized pictures, I went through about 5+ steps to save a few dollars. I measured the locket and made a 3" x 5" word document (customized size). I uploaded my pictures on the word document (about 10) and sized and rotated them to fit the locket (I also made the viewing size exactly 3" x 5" on my computer screen, so I could hold up the locket next to it to see if it looks like it would fit. This was about 110% for me). I then zoomed in as much as possible (with still seeing the whole 3x5 area) and took a screenshot, and uploaded the screenshot on paint. I cropped the screenshot to just the 3x5 word document (got rid of the toolbars & scrollbars and such) and then saved it as a jpeg. I then paid 21 cents to get a print of it at the Walgreens next to my house! Took about 20 minutes, plus the trip to Walgreens and cutting out the picture (that was tough!)

The gift is now being enjoyed by another :)
