The Georgian & Victorian eras brought us the incredibly romantic Gold Padlock Garnet Clasp Pendant.

A magnificently ornamented, multidimensional, splendid antique late Georgian / early Victorian heart padlock clasp pendant is the most desirable by any true antique collector. Extremely rare and dating to approximately 1830-1850. Crafted from 9ct yellow gold (presumably for extra strength/longevity) and featuring exquisite spirals of foliage and flowers at the front. Amid the foliate details there are three large foiled luscious deep Red Garnet cabochons in typical cut down settings. The most gorgeous glowing garnets that catch the light beautifully. To the reverse of the padlock pendant is closed and shown some sign of wear at the back. Shown some definite love in the past. This is a working padlock.. the arm is strong (crafted from and tested as 9ct gold), opens and closes very securely, and can be worn on a bracelet or suspended from a favorite chain on a bolt ring or dog clips.
