Sharing with you today this gorgeous custom made charm locket from the lovely Jewellery brand Venus With Love. VWL approached me just over a month ago now kindly asking whether I would like to design and create my own locket with them, I was so excited at the idea having seen their gorgeous collections online and how cute the V.Lockets were. However with me being in Thailand I thought that maybe I would have too miss out on such a lovely opportunity, but luckily after speaking with the lovely Jenna at VWL she was happy to ship out the package all the to me here in Koh Samui. I was so over joyed that I spent the next 4 week eagerly anticipating the arrival with several trips to the local post office. Then the day come and it just so happened James picked it up for me on the way back from his training, it felt like Christmas had come early. As you can probably tell the prospect of receiving parcels is very exciting, especially as I have had to go almost a year with out any sort of online delivery or parcel. Oh the little things. 

So now you all know that I got very excited (sometimes I do wonder) let me talk more about Venus With Love, this adorable locket and its super lovely concept. The idea behind the V.Locket is that you can either choose to gift somebody the locket, with maybe one or two charms in and then they can continue to build it up inside themselves, or you can choose up to 8 charms (depending on the size you choose) and build a full locket. I decided to choose 6 charms and base mine around my year here in Thailand, therefore I chose; a palm tree, cocktail, suitcase, peace hands, my birth stone and a little heart with 'dream' engraved on the inside, and also I went for the 'large silver locket, with a snake chain' (just incase you were wondering which size and style mine was). With a whole range of charms and dangles to choose from you can design which ever mood, theme or story you like.

The fun doesn't stop there, once you have built your locket you can always add to it or even complete change the content if you like, as the little case opens and closes (just like an original locket). I think VWL have come up with such a cute, timeless idea that if you were to receive as a gift, or even just treat yourself you can keep the story going or if your like me just have my most recent memories locked in forever. 

I guess it holds a similar concept to the Pandora bracelets where you can continue to hold and pick out favourite memories and moments keeping them as close to you as possible. Personally I love jewellery like this, it reminds me of all the wonderful things that my mum and granny have in their treasure boxes and all the meanings and stories in each of their special pieces. There is far to much costume jewellery these days, I think it is something truly special to have a piece that you love and can make you remember.
