The one item Josh Hutcherson kept from The Hunger Games films was the gold locket Peeta gave Katniss on the beach in Catching Fire. “I just came across it recently while cleaning things out,” he told Buzzfeed in his recent puppy interview.
Peeta’s locket was designed by Dana Schneider, who has created jewelry for many popular films and also designed the original Mockingjay pin used in The Hunger Games.
“I knew Peeta’s necklace would be pretty prominent, and it’s hard to make a locket that looks masculine. I got this idea about how the case would flip off and reveal this folding inside. I knew the special effects people could put in CGI images on the locket, so I tried to focus on the silhouette and how it functioned,” Schneider explained.
