what exactly is considered a locket?

Hello there, I have a question about what qualifies as a locket- Is it a narrow dark penciling that circles an otherwise white neck-like a necklace effect? I have a torbie who has a white bib that narrows some on the neck and white belly with a very thin off center line connecting the two. If her ruff is not brushed, she appears to have a mixed area or band of white, off white, and brown-one person told me they belived this was a locket, another wasn't so sure. Can you clarify this for me?-The cat in question is only 9 weeks old so I realize the white connecting the bib to belly may either appear larger as she grows or recede. Thanks!
