This heart, it beats, beats for only you.

Happy valentines day ♥

For a valentines inspired post, i thought it was fitting to show the gorgeous gold heart locket i have recently received which was originally my great grandmothers but given to me by my mum! The watch in the locket is actually upside down so you can look at it when your actually wearing it around your neck which makes me think it was actually used to tell the time rather than worn for show! It doesn't have a chain but i am looking for one so i can wear it, the chain will have to be thin but strong as well as the heart is quite heavy, also i think a thinner chain will suit the locket much better, i will probably wear it for special occasions only as it is a one off vintage piece and i definitely don't want to risk wrecking it, ahhhh i just LOVE it :)

    The locket is beautiful (:
    I think a thin chain would really suit it and look devine.
    The fact that is will always have sentimental value is lovely (:
