USB locket keeps your memories hidden in a beautiful place

Most of us carry a few precious pictures around with us in our wallet or purse, but carrying your memories that way seems awfully 20th century. These beautiful lockets made by jewelry designer Emily Rothschild ensure that you will always have your personal mementos available at a moment's notice.

People have been wearing lockets holding pictures of their loved ones for over a century, but at best, they can hold just a few favorite pictures. This 21st century version puts everything on a tiny 2GB USB flash drive, so you can have hundreds of pictures in addition to videos and other personal data.

Sure you could always load a bunch of pictures onto your phone, but that doesn't seem particularly personal.

The lockets come in two sizes with a choice of two finishes, and there's also a special version just for carrying your medical records. Prices range from $170 for the smaller Mini Locket, to $250 for the standard version.

These are great for the ladies, but it would be nice if there were something a bit more macho looking for us guys.
