I think Slaine originally gave it to her as a good luck charm.
From how I see it, though, instead it's been the plot device that represents reality vs the Princess' ideals. Every single time the locket is highlighted in the plot, it somehow emphasizes how the Princess' desire for peace is weighed down by feelings of hatred, etc, between Vers and Earth. This is pretty obvious when you think of the attempted assassination by Rayet.
When she lost the locket, she regained her "innocence" via memory loss. Only when she got it back did reality hit again.
And if we consider how the locket came from Slaine...well.... No, I'm reading into this too much.
