The old (originally 17th century Scottish) proverb "You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear" meant you cannot make something beautiful from inferior products.
Before You Go :
Well, the wonderful Edinburgh based atelier, SilkPurseSowsEar, certainly proves the proverb wrong. They make the most beautiful photo lockets from mostly brass. Brass is a lot cheaper than gold but the colour does resemble that of old gold.
These are naturally all personalizable as you can put whatever photos you like inside. They also offer photo album lockets which allow you to add multiple photos.
The designs are gorgeous with all kinds of etched and added embellishments.

These are simply lovely! I have a couple of lockets that are very special to me. I think people like them because they are so personal and they also remind us of days gone by.
