The Heart of Gold Charm
| Victorian Heart Padlock Charm in 9K |
The heart motif is as timeless as the idea of love, and this padlock charm is so romantic. The idea of a heart depicted as a lock signifies the value, and the sacredness, of love. The mechanism opens and closes securely with a click, we love to hear this sound! This padlock was likely once used as a clasp for joining two ends of a bracelet, and the extended chain being a safety chain for when the clasp was open. As collectors of items crafted a hundred years ago, it is always a pleasure to find a piece that is mechanical (and still functional) as well as beautiful and decorative.
