Antique Heart Padlock Drop 9ct Gold Band Ring | Birmingham 1891
This quality antique band is modelled in 9ct Gold, complete with an opening heart padlock drop, fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1891.
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 more scarce and 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.
