Please help me with this question. My character was given a locket as a story element that glows with light with a command word. Presuming it can stay lit forever and lowered on a rope or thrown while lit etc, is this considered a ‘neck’ item? It is a locket on a necklace that has a command word to turn on/off.
And lets say this character also gets a Amulet of Natural Armor +1, also a neck item. Can the amulet be worn to give the +1 to AC, and the lit locket placed over the head to shed light? Would one fail to function? Or can the locket shed light but not be commanded, as it is not the primary ‘neck’ item?
Honestly a Ioun Torch for 75gp could replace the whole concept but I wanted to see what the community opinion was. Obviously the locket was given as a gift from her world traveling brother, so it has sentimental value.

Good question, ask whoever created it.
Does it need to be donned by a character who wants to employ it or benefit from its abilities? If so, it uses up a slot from Magic Items on the Body. If not, and it's just a magical bauble that is on a chain for convenience, then it doesn't.
There is precedent with the Necklace of Fireballs which doesn't take up the slot.
If it doesn't need to be worn to be used and/or activated then it is probably actually a 'slotless' item rather than a 'neck' item.
Tie the necklace part around your head like a bandanna. Now it takes up a Head slot. Problem solved. ^_^
