Description

This antique band is modelled in 9ct Gold, complete with an antique heart padlock drop, and is fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1921.

Padlocks first became popular during the Victorian period, worn by women whose significant others were leaving for an extended period. The significance was that the padlock would be locked onto the woman, and only her beloved would have the key- he would then open it upon his return.

Mainly popular on bracelets, padlock rings are much scarcer and more collectable.

Imagine the joy on your loved one's face when they receive this rare, beautifully crafted ring. It's not just a piece of jewellery, it's a symbol of your love and thoughtfulness.
