Lockets 101: How to Choose the Right Photos

Here's to the memories and choosing the right ones for your locket. Keep these five tips in mind when making your photo selection.

Embrace Ample Space

Remember, you can always trim away the background of a photo. Ample space ensures you can fit the subject in the frame and is especially useful if you have a fun shaped locket.

 Squeeze In

When you want to fit two people in the frame, make sure their faces are close together. Otherwise, someone might not make the crop.

Workaround

If you still want to use a photo with subjects that are far apart, try to find a locket shape that provides extra space where you need it. For example, this photo works a lot better in an oval locket than a round one.

Make It Cute!

The whole point is to keep the people and memories you love close to your heart.

The good news is that there are two sides to every locket, so you don't have to pick just one photo.
