Secrets. They’re the one thing everyone has that everyone else is dying to know. So the question is: How do we maintain our “secret selves” in the face of the world’s prying attempts to figure us out? Designers have risen to the challenge, and consistently created inventive and stylish ways to help us remain enigmatic. Everything from sunglasses to the trench coat have kept peeping Toms at bay but now lockets are staking their claim amongst the secret chic. Jewelry designers like Pamela Love have taken to the mysterious and romantic qualities of the locket and incorporated them into her collection to make something intriguingly beautiful this season. My personal favorite is the locket of the not-so-traditionally shaped heart, made in the shape of an actual human heart. The idea is eerie and mystifying –playing seamlessly with the secret motif and keeping everyone in the dark. Websites like etsy.com have vintage lockets for sale as well for those who favor the more classic lockets. So with your sunglasses, trench coat, and locket, you’ll have everyone wanting to know more.
