A locket is a keepsake necklace (though it can also be attached to a bracelet) which consists of a small piece that opens up to reveal a photo or lock of hair of a loved one. The reason to make one out of a precious metal is because it is meant to be a keepsake, or even an heirloom, and as such should not be made of cheap metal or plastic.

Any gold or silver plated jewelery is melted to get the actual precious metal. When melting the metals they will separate. The procedure is not for newbies. The same thing is done with sterling silver or gold that is not pure .999. The reason jewelers use alloy in their metals is because the precious metals are very soft and for durability is added a alloy into the jewellery's composition and than is marked accordingly so you will know what percentage of the precious metals you will get when you buy it.

Gold belongs to the exclusive category known as the precious metals. Precious metals are the rare metallic chemical elements that are considered to be valuable. These metals are very lustrous and melt at higher temperatures than other metals. Throughout history, such metals have served as currency, yet in current times, precious metals are viewed as investments and are valued for the industrial usage. Other than gold, the metals belonging to the precious metal category are platinum, palladium, and silver. All of these precious metals are very popular choices in the jewelry industry.
