Gold locket necklaces
A gold locket is the warm one. People choose it when the necklace should sit with other gold jewelry, or when the gift itself should look like gold before anyone opens it.
These lockets are stainless steel with a gold or rose gold finish, not solid hallmarked gold. The finish is what you see and what rests against the skin. Inside, the frame still holds a small photograph or a few engraved words.

Yellow gold reads warm next to a gold chain and warm skin. Rose gold sits between gold and pink, and it is the finish most often chosen for the angel wing hearts.
If the person who will wear it already lives in silver, a gold locket will look like a decision, not a match. That can be the point of a gift. It can also be the reason to look at the silver lockets instead.
What a gold locket can hold
A face, cropped tight so it still closes. Initials, a year, or one short line on the inside. The outside can stay plain, or carry a flower, a tree, dots, or wings.
Leave one side empty if you are not sure. A photograph can go in later. The locket does not have to be finished on the day it is given.
