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.

Can gold plated jewelry be scrapped?

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.
