They have ones designed after comic book heroes Iron Man and Captain America…
…ones carrying icons from video games including Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda series…
…and ones for fans of the famous fantasy books A Song of Fire and Ice and Harry Potter.
The lockets sell for $18 to $21 (USD) each. Most of them have a few finishing and chain length options. Keep your browser close to your heart and visit ThreeTwelveTrinkets on Etsy to order.

Locket puts ads on your Android homescreen, pays you a penny to unlock (video)
Take a look at your Android phone. See that background shot? It's probably kind of cute, but hardly inspiring. In fact, is is bringing you any joy whatsoever? Is it helping you to make rent? Believe it or not, there's now an app for that. Locket has just launched into the Google Play Store, enabling a limited (for now) selection of advertisers to place ads on your lock screen and then paying you one cent for each time you unlock. Of course, it's capped at $0.03 per hour (so every other unlock is just making the company money), and you'll be allowed to cash out, toss the funds on a gift card or donate your earnings to a charity. For now, it's restricted to users based in the United States. Oh, and don't worry, we already did the math -- you can earn $262.80 by unlocking your phone's screen three times each hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Or you can just mow some grass.

iHeart Locket Isn’t the Key to Anyone’s Heart, But It’s the Key to an iPad Diary App
Remember when you were a kid and you had this secret diary that your little brother would always try to sneak a peek at? Well, probably only the girls can relate, and while I had no brother, I did have a sister who constantly snooped around my stuff.
So if you have a little girl in the house and want to save her the trouble of having to fight for her privacy, you might want to get her the iHeart Locket. That’s if she already has an iPad.
The iHeart works in conjunction with the iHeart Locket Diary app for iOS. The app is essentially a digital diary that lets your little girl write her deepest thoughts and secrets. The app also lets her insert images and scribble down notes and doodles when she feels like it.
The locket functions as the diary’s key. It transmits a unique code that keeps the diary private, so only its wearer can read the diary. In addition, if anyone comes along, a button on the locket can be pressed and anything written on the screen will be kept hidden away from prying eyes.
The iHeart Locket is being sold for $24.95(USD), while the app can be downloaded for free from the iTunes App Store.
