JewelMint Lovers' Locket Photos + Sweetheart & Lovers Headband Sketch! | Written Review

It's not hard to see why everyone (myself included) adores JewelMint's Lovers' Locket from the coveted February 2011 collection.

This necklace is super easy to style, and it's antique gold finish has a timeless and romantic feel. Although this necklace is a classic piece, you can easily make it your own whether your style is relaxed, trendy, preppy, indie, or whatever. From flowy floral dress, to cable knit sweaters, to leather jackets and jeans, this piece is surely one that anyone can pull off. I also like where this locket hits - just a few inches above the belly button, and the Y part of the necklace separates at the middle of the chest.

There seriously hasn't been a time when I've been out and someone hasn't asked me about the necklace. Most comments are about how unique the Y shape is as most lockets are usually seen dangling from a single chain. Besides being asked where I purchased it from, the second most asked question is if the locket actually opens. Why of course it does! :)

Two magnets on the inside of the locket is how this locket stays securely closed. As for the inside of the locket (and mentioned in my video review), you will notice there are no prongs or clasps to secure a small photo inside of the locket. However, this can easily be done with scrapbooking dots, such as these here.

In the my last video review post of the Lovers' Locket, I mentioned how I would not only love to see JewelMint bring this piece back, but how a complete refashion of this necklace would be fun! While it is quite obvious that this necklace would look gorgeous as mini locket earrings or even a bracelet charm, I've come up with something a little bit less traditional. So in honor of Valentine's Day, I've sketched my own Sweetheart and Lovers Headband!

Sweethearts and Lovers Headband sketch

I imagine this headband being made of gold metal with a brushed antique finish. The Lovers' Locket would be the centerpiece and is surrounded by two Sweetheart Ring charms. Instead of the usual bright brushed gold finish on the Sweetheart charms, it would be brushed antique gold to match. While the headband in the sketch looks a little too thick, I would probably scale that down a bit for a more of a romantic and delicate feel to the overall headband itself.

What do you think? Would you wear a headband like this from JewelMint if one existed? How else would you like to see the Lovers' Locket refashioned?

JewelMint Lovers' Locket (Exclusive Reserves) Video Review + Styling Ideas!

I hold a special place in my heart for my JewelMint Lovers' Locket that I recently scored during JewelMint's Exclusive Reserves sale back in December. I had wanted this necklace for the longest time and was so excited to finally own it!

I really hope that JewelMint brings this antique locket back, or even a refashion would be super fun as well! I can almost imagine this piece on a headband or as a ring with a scaled down version of this timeless locket. Oh! Or even smaller Lovers' Locket stud earrings! That would be a-a-a-mazing ! Don't you think?

You can watch my video review above, and check back soon for my additional written review with photos!

Time For More JewelMint Sneak Peeks! Thanks Rachel!

A super huge thanks to Rachel for the email where she pointing these two sneak peeks out! Apparently, they were posted on JewelMint's Twitter quite awhile back (like over a month and half ago). How they were somehow overlooked is completely beyond me, but still exciting nonetheless!

Here's the first photo of Cher Coulter donning the same sneak peek necklace we saw back in July (in this post here). As you can see, she's layered it with Lovers' Locket, and it matches wonderfully with the newly re-released Mystic Falls Earrings!

Here's a closer (but blurrier) look...

While it was originally thought that this necklace looked to be more eagle-esque, it seems as if it's looking more like an insect-inspired piece to me - such as the Scarab. It's still kind of hard to tell, but what do you think?

Another overlooked piece is one that can be seen on JewelMint model, Yulia....

Here's a closer look at the ring itself...

Gosh, there seems to be quite a few black-themed cocktail rings coming out soon such as the Lady Noir Set (as seen here and here). This couldn't be a possible third ring in the upcoming September Lady Noir Set, could it? Hmmm, that would seem almost too good to be true. Guess we'll see which pieces are actually included!

Upon seeing this new photo, I just knew I've seen this ring before!! In fact, it's the same exact ring that was mentioned back on August 12th (in this post here). Look familiar?  Click on the photo to get a closer look at the ring on the model's index finger! You can also see some pretty nifty looking bracelets, and some very recognizable necklaces we've seen circulating around lately within the last few sneak peeks. However, I also wanted to point out the pendant that looks like a moon! That's a new one! :)

As for the actual release months for both pieces, it's basically just a game of wait and see. I'm so looking forward to all of them! Come on September, get here fast!

xoxo, Lily
