I like this locket, though it doesn't rest as flat against the skin as I thought it would. It has more of a "puffed" heart sort of look to it, which isn't necessarily bad. Just unexpected. It opens to hold two photos, or a small memento of some kind, and stays shut securely which is a huge problem with many other lockets that tend to open up while you're wearing them losing whatever keepsake you had tucked inside. It's tarnished some since I purchased it, but it adds charm. Nothing a little polishing wouldn't fix, if you're so inclined to keep things shiny.
