The Full Look

Gold lockets are chosen for two distinct reasons. Keeping your precious memories close to your heart as you go along your daily business is only one of them. While the sentimental value of a quality locket cannot be overstated, the jewelry can’t fulfill its true potential unless it enhances your overall look as well. No every gold locket out there is well suited for this task. Certain pieces that go well with certain items may not work with everything you own. It’s critical when purchasing a locket to consider the full look - how the gold locket will fit in with the rest of what you’re wearing.

Stay Organized
One of the easiest ways to detract from your overall look is to appear sloppy and disorganized. Take the time each day to consider your full wardrobe before setting out into the world. Your outward appearance sets the tone for every conversation you’ll have and every first impression you’ll make for the entire day. Go the distance and lay out your outfit to make sure that the locket matches well with what you have planned. Also make sure that your clothes aren’t wrinkled. If your closet is tight for space, try getting some Joy Mangano Huggable Hangers - they work wonders in keeping you organized and wrinkle free.

Tone and Color
Make sure that the colors and tone of the gold locket mesh well with that of your clothing. Not every item of clothing you own will go well with a yellow gold locket with satin finishing, for instance. White gold lockets tend to do better for matching with a wide range of clothes. When selecting a locket, try to envision how it will appear with what you have on at the moment. If you can’t see yourself wearing that locket often, it may not be the best choice for you.

The Effect of Gemstones
Consider the effect of any gemstones on the overall look of the locket. Diamonds, as a colorless stone, tend to do well with most outfits without any problem. Strongly colored gemstones like emeralds, amethyst, or tanzanite have the tendency to go better with some outfits than others. Try to compliment the colors of any gemstones with what’s represented in the clothes.

The Full Look
A little thought and a little effort is all it takes to achieve the full look that you crave. Your appearance is how you present yourself to the world. Take the time to consider how a gold locket can compliment that appearance to your benefit.
