Lisa:

A necklace is a piece of jewelry that goes around your neck.  A locket
is a piece of jewelry with a hinge that opens and commonly holds
something (most commonly, a picture) inside.  A locket can be attached
to a necklace to be worn.  However, I would be entirely appropriate to
call a locket on a necklace simply a "necklace."  Sorry -- clear as mud
now?!  ;0)
