Valentine's Day Jewelry

Posted by Maire Loughran Jan 7, 2008

The locket shown as the image in my latest article about Spring 2008 necklaces looks almost identical to a 14K locket and chain that I received as a Valentine's Day present a few years ago from my husband.

I've received such exciting presents as scales and household appliances in tha past, so I decided to leave nothing to chance. I circled an ad in the local newspaper for the locket and put it post it note on it saying that it would look nice with a heart cobra chain.

Well, he took the hint and loaded our son in the car and drove to the mall to buy both the locket and the chain. He even found a small picture of himself and our son and put them in the locket for me.

Combined total of the gift back then was probably about $200. However, it is one of my most cherished pieces of jewelry. Especially in light of the fact that my husband died a year later. It still brings a smile to my face when I remember how the purchase played out.

Hint to men - most women really love a gesture such as that at Valentine's Day.
