(SOLD) Antique 19th Century Gold Heart "Padlock" Locket Pendant
(SOLD) Antique 19th Century Gold Heart "Padlock" Locket Pendant
Locked in Love.
As the saying goes — good things come in small packages!
In this case, this is the most darling locket — in the form of dimensional heart shaped “padlock.” The heart opens as a hinged locket, while the “shackle” of the padlock is actually a clever bail, with two hidden loops on the back side for a chain or a thin silk cord. The locket snaps shut securely, and there are two finger “tabs” at the seam to facilitate opening.
The entire surface is engraved with floral and foliate details, for a soft, romantic look. A lot of presence for a more petite pendant. Such a marvelous, sentimental jewel, discovered in Paris.
Chains shown are not included.
Unmarked.
18k gold.
Dimensions and weight:
● 24 mm long
● 15 mm wide
● 8.3 mm deep
● 2.7 grams
Period: Victorian (mid-19th century)
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present.
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
