Enamel lockets were also used to signify one’s mourning state. Ashes or hair of loved ones were kept inside these enamel lockets because they made the wearer feel much closer to his or her loved one who passed away. It can also be because the content of the enamel locket is the only keepsake they have from their loved ones.
The most fascinating thing that an enamel locket can have is a miniature picture inside it that is meticulously hand painted. This will require special skills and tedious workmanship but the result will be worth it. A unique piece of art is created inside the enamel locket and for many people this is truly a legacy they can be proud of. An engraving of your name or your beloved’s name can also be embedded inside the enamel locket. Still, for most people, as long as they can put their special photograph inside the enamel locket, that’s all that matters.
