Locket vs Pendant: What Is the Difference?
The words are often used for the same thing in Pakistani shops, but strictly speaking:
| Locket | Pendant | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Opens to hold a photo or keepsake | A solid ornament that does not open |
| Weight | Usually heavier because of the hinge and two faces | Can be very light |
| Making charge | Higher (hinge and clasp work) | Lower for simple shapes |
| Resale | Valued by gold weight only | Valued by gold weight only |

Most lockets are bought with a chain. A light 18-inch 22K chain weighs about 3 to 5 g. With a 4 g chain at an 8% making charge, the total looks like this:
| Locket | Locket price | 4 g chain | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 g 22K | Rs38,249 | Rs147,530 | Rs185,779 |

Ordering a Custom Name Locket
- Choose the script (Urdu, Arabic or English) and font; thin scripts need thicker sheet to avoid bending.
- Agree the gold weight range in writing; longer names use more gold.
- Ask whether the making charge is a percentage or a fixed fee; for light name lockets a fixed fee is often cheaper.
- Expect 3 to 10 days for laser-cut or hand-cut work.
- Check the spelling on a printed proof before cutting; corrections mean remaking the piece.
