Trend Spotting: Lockets

Omnipresent übermodel/entrepreneur extraordinaire Heidi Klum worked the red carpet at the Golden Globes in a diamond choker with a locket enhancer from her eponymous Heidi Klum Collection for Mouwad. Although Klum’s piece requires a big presence to strut its stuff, the locket in smaller scale is taking it personal—allowing wearers to customize the inside with a keepsake (photo or otherwise). Their vintage romance represents the sentimentalities we lock inside, and keeps them close to the heart.
