Lockets

The **lockets** were created by Max Hamilton and given to the original mermaids from the 1950s. They were created with the intention of helping them accept their transformation and reminding them that they are a part of something special.

## Description

The lockets are silver and oval-shaped with a band around them to resemble raindrops. At the top, set below the bail is a different-colored gem. Engraved on the back are waves; Cleo, Emma, and Rikki's all have three, Bella's has four, Natalie's has five, and Andrea's has six.

## Cleo's Locket

Cleo's locket belonged to fifteen-year-old Gracie, Charlotte's grandmother, during the 1950s. Fifty years after Gracie threw into the moon pool at Mako Island, Emma found it. After Miriam tried to steal it, Emma gave it to Cleo. The locket has a purplish-blue stone - a tanzanite for controlling water.

Emma's locket belonged to fifteen-year-old Louise Chatham during the 1950s. After Cleo and Rikki got their lockets, Louise gave hers to Emma, as "it was right for all of them to be together". The locket has a white stone - a diamond for freezing water.

## Rikki's Locket

Rikki's locket belonged to fifteen-year-old Julia during the 1950s. While she was on a date with Zane, Rikki found the locket on the showcase of a jewelry shop, where it came from a deceased estate. Zane asked Miriam if girls liked getting jewelry as a gift, leading her to buy the locket so she could make Rikki jealous. Rikki tried to get the locket back but was unsuccessful. Zane then made a deal where he could get the locket if he kissed her. However, Miriam threw it into the harbor out of jealousy towards Rikki. Emma and Zane both jumped into the water to get the locket, but he eventually found it without her secret being exposed. Louise allowed Rikki to keep the locket, saying she deserved it for keeping her secret safe from Zane. The locket has a red stone - a ruby for heating and boiling water.

## Natalie's Locket

Natalie's locket belonged to fourteen-year-old Ashley Hamilton, Max's younger sister, during the 1950s. After Max made the original three lockets for Gracie, Louise, and Julia, Ashley asked him to make her one. He didn't put the four waves into the back until after Ashley became a mermaid. After tossing it into the moon pool on Sirena Island, Natalie DeGrand found the locket fifty years later. Eventually, Ashley (while on her deathbed) convinced her brother to carve the fifth wave into the locket and passed it on to Natalie. The locket has a dark blue stone - a sapphire for Ashley's love for the sea.

## Bella's Locket

Bella's locket was created by Max Hamilton in the 2000s. After befriending her, Emma had the idea of creating another locket to include Bella into their group. The locket has a purple stone - an amethyst for Bella's jellifying and hardening powers.

## Andrea's Locket

Andrea's locket was created by Max in the 2000s. After Bella and Emma received their new necklaces, Max agreed to make another locket for the young girl so she could feel like a part of the group. The locket has a pink stone - a pink opal for her abilities to make water explode, control the rain, and control plant life.
