However, I was disappointed to discover that there is no such locket and the device was probably a nifty piece of CGI by the films special effects crew. In fact one site mentioned that such a design would not be possible to create.
After some thought, I wonder if that assumption is necessarily right. Perhaps if we modified the locket slightly. the main problems I think would be, where to place the hinge on the twisting parts and how to have the picture not be split into 2. I was wondering if this could be accomplished using magnets. So there would not be a hinge, but it could be twisted and yet stay together using the attractive force of magnetism. The picture could also be set onto a very thin piece of metal so that it could seem to stay fastened to the locket.
Finally, if we were to try and stay true to the design, the entire locket could be painted in brown and made to look like a piece of wood. Sure it would be much heavier than a wooden one, but perhaps wearable if it were made thinner. Just a thought.
Any other possible designs??
