The large pink bead is a 10mm glass fiber optic 'cat's eye'. Because that bead is larger than most of the locket, it floats in the center section where the glass is curved out. I think it lends for a neat effect.
I also have some seed beads in there. While they add some interest I don't think I will keep them in there. See, the locket opens, and it's easy enough for these to fall out being as small as they are. I've already picked them up once or twice while playing with the pendant.
So yes, short post is short, but I wanted to show a little work in progress.

Fun stuff, Claire! Play with the locket until you find the best stuff to show off in it -- Just make sure you share your cool results with everyone ;)

How creative, Claire! It reminds me of the popular mustard seed inside the glass pendants of the 60's! Nice job!
Dave - Thanks. I'm still leaning towards making some poly clay discs. Though some of my clay is drying out and becoming crumbly, so I may have to see what I can buy to make the clay more workable. (Or buy different/more clay).
Cat - Thanks. I was trying out different size/shaped beads inside the locket, and that 10mm pink bead just happened to be the right size to float like that.
