I bought this locket to put in little pieces of fur and pix of my poms.  Although they are both well and doing fine, members of my family have recently lost their dogs due to age and an accident and I wanted to make sure that I had something to cherish always of my two.  The heart is a little smaller than I thought it would be, especially for putting in some of their fur as well, but it's very pretty.  I plan to replace the standard break away chain that always comes with a necklace, but overall it is pretty and does not look cheap.
